Business Analytics with Excel

Turn Excel into a real decision-making tool

From Johns Hopkins University, this beginner Specialization has enrolled 9,218 students who want to move Excel beyond spreadsheets and into actual optimization and analytics.

What you'll build

• Optimization models built and solved directly in Excel
• Regression analysis and statistical methods for business questions
• Financial and business modeling for resource allocation and risk

It's ideal for analysts, operations staff, or small-business owners who already live in Excel but have never used it for formal modeling or optimization. Because everything runs on a tool most people already have installed, the skills here are immediately applicable — there's no new software to learn before you can start applying the techniques.
