Description
Whether you’re an Analyst who works with data for a living, or one of the millions of people in offices all over the world who find themselves spending more time wrestling with spreadsheets than doing their actual job, chances are excellent that you can supercharge your productivity – and decrease your stress – by mastering Microsoft Excel.
Excel allows us to transform, analyze, summarize, and visualize our data with incredible power and efficiency, making it the ultimate “glue” application without which many organizations would fall apart. You’d be amazed at how much many crucial decisions made at the highest levels of companies, or even governments, are made based on data in an Excel spreadsheet.
And even better – with the right teaching approach – Excel is actually pretty easy to master.
Now to be sure, Excel is one of the most complex applications ever built, and a course that covers all of its features and functionality might last well into the next decade. But fortunately, as with so many things, there is a small percentage of Excel’s feature set that most people use, most of the time.
Because I want to level up your skills in the shortest time possible, this course is laser-focused on Excel’s most useful and powerful features – the ones you’ll find yourself going back to, day in and day out.
