About this Course
What Will You Be Able to Do in Excel?
By the end of the course, you will have practiced how to:
- Create organized workbooks with linked worksheets instead of entering the same information repeatedly.
- Clean business data by removing duplicates, correcting text and numbers, and filtering a dataset to answer a specific question.
- Use functions such as IF, SUMIFS, XLOOKUP, and INDEX with MATCH to find and combine information across tables.
- Summarize sales and other datasets in PivotTables and PivotCharts, then choose charts that make changes and comparisons easier to read.
- Interpret averages, medians, and measures of variation rather than relying on totals alone.
- Build dropdown lists and validation rules that reduce inconsistent entries in shared workbooks.
- Test business scenarios using Goal Seek, Scenario Manager, Data Tables, and Solver.
- Check formulas and protect workbooks before sharing, then build an interactive dashboard that highlights performance indicators.
- Complete a final project that takes business data from preparation through analysis to a dashboard and a summary of findings.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is for learners who use Excel for work or study and want to move from basic spreadsheet use to clearer reporting and analysis, including:

What Skills Will You Practice?
Each skill is tied to a deliverable or a task you can complete in Excel.
- Structure workbooks: Build a multi-sheet workbook, link worksheets, and freeze or split views to manage larger datasets.
- Prepare data for analysis: Remove duplicates, clean text and spacing, and convert numbers stored as text into values Excel can calculate.
- Retrieve data across tables: Use XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, and INDEX with MATCH to return records by identifier from another range or sheet.
- Build useful summaries: Calculate figures by region or period with SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and database functions instead of manually adding rows.
- Analyze results with PivotTables: Create a PivotTable and PivotChart with filters and slicers that answer a specific performance question.
- Interpret variation: Calculate averages, medians, standard deviations, and variances to identify results that stand apart from others.
- Control data entry: Design dependent dropdowns and custom validation messages to reduce inconsistent inputs.
- Compare business decisions: Use What-If Analysis tools to see how changing assumptions affects an outcome.
- Automate repetitive steps: Record a macro for a recurring reporting action and explore Office Scripts and Copilot topics covered in the curriculum.
- Check workbook quality: Trace formulas, address errors such as #N/A and #REF!, then use workbook and worksheet protection.
- Build a dashboard: Combine KPI indicators, charts, slicers, and conditional formatting into a one-page performance view.
