Data Analysis in Microsoft Excel

Master Excel for data analysis and transform spreadsheets into smart decisions.

Overview:

Excel isn’t just for tracking wedding guests and passive-aggressive office budgets. It's a data powerhouse once you know what to do with all those cells. This course brings structure to spreadsheets, teaching you how to organise, analyse, and interpret data without needing a maths degree or a coffee IV drip.

From pivot tables to conditional logic, you’ll explore Excel’s lesser-known (and more useful) features to make better-informed decisions. You'll work with real data scenarios, demystify functions like VLOOKUP and IF statements, and start speaking Excel fluently—without whispering “help” into Google.

Learning Outcomes:

• Navigate Excel's core data tools confidently and efficiently.
• Apply formulas to calculate, sort, and manipulate datasets.
• Create pivot tables to summarise and explore large data.
• Understand and build dynamic charts and visual reports.
• Use conditional formatting to highlight critical trends.
• Clean and validate data for accurate analysis output.
