FULL COURSE DESCRIPTION:
__________
It's time to show Excel who's boss.
Whether you're starting from square one or aspiring to become an absolute Excel power user, you've come to the right place.
This course will give you a deep understanding of the advanced Excel formulas and functions that transform Excel from a basic spreadsheet program into a dynamic and powerful analytics tool. While most Excel courses focus on simply
what
each formula does, I teach through
hands-on, contextual examples
designed to showcase
why
these formulas are awesome and
how
they can be applied in a number of ways. I will not train you to regurgitate functions and formula syntax; I will teach you how to THINK like Excel.
__________
By the end of the course you'll be writing robust, elegant formulas and functions from scratch, allowing you to:
Easily build dynamic tools & Excel dashboards to filter, display and analyze your data
Go rogue and design your own formula-based Excel formatting rules
Join datasets from multiple sources with Excel's LOOKUP, INDEX & MATCH functions
Pull real-time data from APIs directly into Excel
(weather, stock quotes, directions, etc.)
Manipulate dates, times, text, and arrays
Automate tedious and time-consuming tasks using cell formulas and functions in Excel (no VBA required!)
__________
We'll dive into a broad range of Excel formulas & functions, including:
Lookup/Reference functions
Statistical functions
Formula-based formatting
Date & Time functions
Logical operators
Array formulas
Text functions
INDIRECT & HYPERLINK
Web scraping with WEBSERVICE & FILTERXML
__________
What gives you the right to teach this class? Can't I just Google this stuff?
I have a genuine passion for Excel that most people reserve for things like kittens, ice cream, and significant others. The only thing I love more than learning Excel is
teaching
it, and as the founder of Excel Maven and Maven Analytics I've been lucky enough to teach Excel to
200,000+ students
across
180+ countries
. My teaching style is conversational, authentic and to the point, and I will
always
communicate complex concepts in a framework that is clear and easy to comprehend.
As a full-time analytics consultant and Excel instructor, I cut my teeth using Excel to solve
real-world business problems
and develop award-winning
analytics & data visualization tools
for Fortune 500 companies. If you care about creds, I'm a card-carrying MOS Certified Excel Expert and my work has been featured by Microsoft and the New York Times. Ok so I don't actually
carry
the card, but you get the idea.
If you're looking for the
ONE
course with all of the advanced Excel formulas and functions that you need to know to become an absolute Excel ninja, you've found it.
See you in there!
