Business Analytics Series - Pivot Tables

Learn all about our Pivot Tables and Visualization Course. It is part of our Business Analytics Series!

Overview

Businesses have access to more data than ever before. It can be frustrating to clean and prepare data from different sources and then quickly analyze and create impressive visualizations for decision makers. It doesn't’t have to be that way.

This course will enable you to understand, prepare, analyze, interpret and present data using Excel. This is a fast-paced, hands-on course that will introduce a range of tools, techniques, tips, and tricks to help you make better decisions using data. The course will feature an in-depth exploration of PivotTables. PivotTables are primarily used to easily and efficiently summarize, explore, and present data.

Note: This course is taught using Excel 2016. Older version users may be fine, but some features taught will not be fully compatible.
