Data Analysis and Forecasting in Excel

Course Overview

Many Excel users feel lost when they try to analyse or forecast data. They often depend on guesswork or repeat the same steps manually. This wastes time and leads to wrong results. They also get stuck using charts, lookup tools, or PivotTables. Most never use Excel beyond basic functions.

This course changes that. It takes you from basic sheet edits to advanced analysis. You will learn how to work with lists, create formulas, and use tools like VLOOKUP. You’ll also find out how to make charts that tell a clear story. With PivotTables and PivotCharts, you will slice and filter large data sets with ease.

Later in the course, you will learn to automate tasks and check formulas with built-in tools. You will also explore sparklines and maps to show trends visually. Finally, the course explains how to forecast data with Excel’s built-in options. This means you will learn to spot trends and make better decisions.

Each lesson builds on the last. You will practise using Excel the smart way, not the long way. You won’t just see what’s possible—you will do it. Whether you use Excel at work or want to boost your CV, this course will help you go further with data.
