Book Description:
Microsoft Excel is widely adopted across diverse industries, but Excel
Power Users often encounter limitations such as complex formulas,
obscure business knowledge, and errors from using outdated sheets. They
need a better enterprise-level solution, and this book introduces
Business rules combined with the power of AI to tackle the limitations
of Excel.
This guide will give you a roadmap to link KIE (an industry-standard
open-source application) to Microsoft's business process automation
tools, such as Power Automate, Power Query, Office Script, Forms, VBA,
Script Lab, and GitHub. You'll dive into the graphical Decision Modeling
standard including decision tables, FEEL expressions, and advanced
business rule editing and testing.
By the end of the book, you'll be able to share your business knowledge
as graphical models, deploy and execute these models in the cloud (with
Azure and OpenShift), link them back to Excel, and then execute them as
an end-to-end solution removing human intervention. You'll be equipped
to solve your Excel queries and start using the next generation of
Microsoft Office tools.
