• Prepare data for analysis: assess data quality (completeness, consistency, accuracy), perform cleaning operations, organize data into folders

• Create quick and custom table calculations: moving average, percent of total, running total, percentile, compound growth rate, year-to-date/month-to-date/year-over-year, index, ranking, first-last
• Create and use filters: apply to dimensions/measures, configure Top N/Bottom N/include/exclude/wildcard/conditional, context filters, apply across multiple sheets and data sources
• Create parameters to enable interactivity in calculations, filters, and reference lines
