Why learn Excel?

Excel is an essential skill for today’s professional, no matter what industry or role.

Be truly great at Excel and you will never go unemployed.

McKinsey has estimated that the U.S. workplace alone faces a shortage of 1.5 million analysts and managers with the knowledge to use data in business decisions.

If you want to get more comfortable working with data, Microsoft Excel is the best place to start. Its use is universal across companies and industries. And its data analysis tools are powerful.

But if you have great Excel skills and nobody knows, do you really have great Excel skills?

In this course, I won’t just show teach you the most important features of Excel for analysts.

I will show you how to turn these skills into a great job.

First I will cover what analysts do and why it’s never been better to work with data. I’ll also cover the important role of Excel in business analytics.

Then I will cover two specific Excel features: VLOOKUP and PivotTables. I call these the duct tape and WD-40 of Excel. You can fix a majority of problems with these two tools.

I will go in-depth with these tools, showing you how to make the most of these functions, and helping you avoid common problems.

Then I will show you how to turn these Excel skills into better career prospects. I will show you how to find the right job. We’ll go over how to stand out from the hundreds of other job applications.

I’ll also show you how to ace your interview and sound like a real analyst.

This course will equip you with the most important Excel features and help you turn them into a great job.
