The Advanced Excel for Data Analysis course is designed to transform your Excel skills from basic to advanced, empowering you to analyze, visualize, and interpret data confidently in a business setting. Whether you're an aspiring data analyst or a working professional looking to sharpen your Excel skills, this hands-on course covers everything you need to know to make data-driven decisions with ease.

We begin with an Introduction to Excel for Data Handling, where learners revisit essential concepts like cell referencing, sorting, filtering, and basic formulas. Then we dive deep into data cleaning techniques, including removing duplicates, handling blanks, using Text-to-Columns, Flash Fill, and applying logical functions like IF, IFS, AND, OR, and nested IF.

The course emphasizes lookup formulas such as VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, and INDEX-MATCH, enabling you to fetch and link information across complex datasets. Learners also master PivotTables and PivotCharts for dynamic data summarization and reporting.

A major highlight is dashboard creation, where you'll learn to build interactive dashboards using charts, slicers, form controls, and conditional formatting. The course also explores data visualization best practices, chart customization, and automation using basic Macros and Named Ranges.

Finally, we cover What-If Analysis tools like Goal Seek and Scenario Manager, along with data validation, drop-downs, and error handling, preparing you for professional-grade reporting and analysis.
