This course includes the use of artificial intelligence.
Generative AI has rapidly evolved from a futuristic concept into an essential workplace skill used across industries. Today, professionals in marketing, finance, operations, sales, HR, and customer support are using tools like Excel, Google Sheets, ChatGPT, and Excel Copilot to analyze data, generate reports, and make faster, more informed decisions. This course is designed to help complete beginners and non-technical professionals understand how to use these tools together in a practical and efficient way.
In this course, you will learn how to transform raw data into meaningful insights using Excel and Google Sheets, even if you have no prior experience in data analysis. You will start with the fundamentals of spreadsheets, including data entry, formatting, sorting, and filtering. You will then move into essential formulas and functions that are widely used in real-world reporting tasks. The course also covers data cleaning techniques, which are critical for preparing accurate and reliable reports.
A major highlight of this course is learning how to use ChatGPT and Excel Copilot to speed up analysis, automate repetitive tasks, generate formulas, and create visualizations with simple natural language prompts. Instead of spending hours manually working on spreadsheets, you will learn how to leverage AI to do the heavy lifting for you.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently analyze data, create reports, build simple dashboards, and use AI tools to improve productivity. No coding or technical background is required—just a willingness to learn modern, in-demand skills that are transforming how work gets done.
