Overview:
Whether
you need to crunch numbers for sales, inventory, information technology, human
resources, or other organizational purposes and departments, the ability to get
the right information to the right people at the right time can create a
powerful competitive advantage. After all, the world runs on data more than
ever before and that's a trend not likely to change, or even slow down, any
time soon. But with so much data available and being created on a nearly
constant basis, the ability to make sense of that data becomes more critical
and challenging with every passing day. You already know how to get Excel to
perform simple calculations and how to modify your workbooks and worksheets to
make them easier to read, interpret, and present to others. But, Excel is capable
of doing so much more. To gain a truly competitive edge, you need to be able to
extract actionable organizational intelligence from your raw data. In other
words, when you have questions about your data, you need to know how to get
Excel to provide the answers for you. And that's exactly what this course aims
to help you do.
This
course builds upon the foundational knowledge presented in the Microsoft
Office Excel 2016: Part 1 course and will help start you down the road to
creating advanced workbooks and worksheets that can help deepen your
understanding of organizational intelligence. The ability to analyze massive
amounts of data, extract actionable information from it, and present that
information to decision makers is at the foundation of a successful
organization that is able to compete at a high level.
