UdemyExcel for Business Analysts Online Course

UdemyThis course teaches Excel not as a spreadsheet tool but as a dedicated analysis platform. You'll master data preparation (merging sources with VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, XLOOKUP), logical operations (IF, SUMIF, COUNTIF), text splitting, and the pivot table foundation that lets you reshape raw data into insights. The course then builds toward forecasting with Forecast Sheets and advanced techniques like Regression, Goal Seek, and Scenario Manager.
With 7+ hours and 55 practical exercises, you'll move from handling raw data to presenting findings. For business analysts, this fills the gap between spreadsheet basics and statistical modeling.
In this course, we focus on the specific functions, formulas, and tools that Excel has to help conduct business or data analysis. We take you on a no-nonsense journey to teach you how to use them.
We start by looking at how to take raw data and prepare it for analysis. After that, we look at a number of tools and functions that can be used to conduct analysis such as Pivot Tables, before moving onto how to display data in the most meaningful way using charts, Pivot Charts, Slicers and so much more. Finally, we move onto some more advanced techniques designed to aid forecasting and using existing data to predict future trends.
This course also includes practice exercises so you can immediately put into practice the new data analysis techniques that you learn.

How to merge data from different sources using VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, and XLOOKUP
