Excel for Business Analysts

Excel for Business Analysts

Microsoft Excel remains one of the best tools for Data Analysis. In this course, we focus on the specific functions, formulas, and tools that Excel has to help conduct business or data analysis.

We start by looking at how to take raw data and clean it so it’s in a useable format. After that, we look at a number of tools and functions that can be used to conduct analysis before moving onto how to display data in the most meaningful way. Finally, we move onto some more advanced techniques designed to aid forecasting and using existing data to predict future trends.

This course also includes practice exercises so you can immediately put into practice the new data analysis techniques that you learn.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to merge data from different sources using VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, and XLOOKUP
  • How to use IF, IFS, IFERROR, SUMIF, and COUNTIF to apply logic to your analysis
  • How to split data using text functions SEARCH, LEFT, RIGHT, MID
  • How to standardize and clean data ready for analysis
  • About using the PivotTable function to perform data analysis
  • How to use slicers to draw out information
  • How to display your analysis using Pivot Charts
  • All about forecasting and using the Forecast Sheets

Advanced PivotTables in Excel

Pivot Tables in Excel

In this Advanced PivotTables in Excel course, we teach you how to make the most of this powerful data analysis function. PivotTables are ideal if you are looking to perform data analysis tasks quickly and efficiently in Excel.

In this course, we give a PivotTable refresher before moving onto some of the advanced features of this tool including Advanced Sorting, Slicers, Timelines, Calculated Fields, Pivot Charts, and Conditional Formatting.

This course is aimed at intermediate users of Excel who are comfortable using the PivotTable function. We don’t recommend this course for people brand new to Excel. If you are new to Excel, try out one of the Simon Sez IT Beginner Excel courses also available on Udemy.

In this course, you will learn:

  • How to do a PivotTable (a quick refresher)
  • How to combine data from multiple worksheets for a PivotTable
  • Grouping, ungrouping and dealing with errors

Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX in Excel

In this advanced Excel course, we look at three crucial advanced Excel features Power Pivot, Power Query, and DAX.

This suite of Excel functions allows you to manipulate, analyze, and evaluate millions of rows of data from Excel or other databases.

We first look at how to bring your data together, merge, and clean it using Power Query before moving onto creating relationships between our data tables and building out a data model. We then look at performing calculations on our data model using DAX, and finally, we look at displaying our analysis using PivotTables and PivotCharts.

If you’ve reached a point where you need Excel to work with data at scale, then these tools will unlock that capability.

This course also includes practice exercises and follow-along files so you can build your data models as we go.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to get started with Power Query
  • How to connect Excel to multiple workbooks
  • How to get data from the web and other sources
  • How to merge and append queries using Power Query
  • How the Power Pivot window works
