Description

Did you know that nearly 80% of all middle-skill job openings require their potential employees to use spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel?*
That’s because Excel is a powerful tool that can be used for data analysis and management, allowing users to gather useful insights into the data that they are working with. It can also be used for "fun" applications, such as to play tic-tac-toe, etc.
Gone are the days where you have to calculate 101 columns of monthly expenses yourself or sketch a graph by hand just to understand your expenses – you can do all these with Excel, at a lesser time!
This course allows you to get started with Excel – starting from the bare basics as getting the fundamentals right is key to mastering Excel. Don't feel overwhelmed, we will go through the basics slowly :)
