Introduction

Data is the new currency but analysing it in Excel has many challenges. In this intermediate course we look at a range of functions that can help us automate the process of cleaning and transforming the data, so it is ready for analysis. We will also look at using tables to automate processes and perform simple analysis. We will then link data sets using lookup functions and finally use pivot tables and pivot charts to perform a more detailed analysis which we will present in a dashboard.

“They’re always there to support you and they’ve even made the Most staunchly paper driven people challenge what they do and find a way to be paper light, if not paper gone.”

“Working with Priority Management as an organisation, [I’ve learned] that it’s not actually about the computer programs. It’s about the way in which you use those to work together.”

“Thank you Jackie so much again for putting together such an insightful presentation. As I mentioned, the feedback so far has been really positive and a few people I have spoken to in the office today have already made some tweaks to their default settings. Your presentation skills were some of the best I’ve seen, and I was impressed with how you were able to navigate between screens despite the technical challenges. Thank you again!”

“I had no idea of how much I didn’t know. This is a game changer for efficiency and organisation.”

“But also the programs were fabulous because they are really practical. It’s not just here’s how you use it. It’s really about how you embed it into your everyday work life which is what I like about it.”

“Thanks for putting on such amazing training sessions for our employees over the past 2 weeks, we have had incredible feedback about how valuable they found the Outlook training and how great a facilitator Dani is. One employee reached out saying it was the best training she has ever done, which is a testament to how good the content and facilitators are!”
