Prerequisites
The course material includes extensive use of Excel and participants
will gain the maximum benefit from this course if they are already
competent spreadsheets users. It is designed for users who do use (or
will use) Excel on a regular basis, and are comfortable with using its
tools and functions.

At minimum, it is assumed that participants will know how to:
* Navigate confidently in Excel
* Create and use formulas
* Link between workbooks
* Build a basic chart

Software Used
Each delegate must have their own laptop or workstation with their
preferred version of Excel installed. The course is demonstrated using
Microsoft Excel 2016, but students can use any version of Excel they
prefer although it is highly recommended they use Excel 2010 or
later. Course materials contain instructions for all versions,
including Excel for Mac. PCs are used during this course, so Apple
Macintosh users will be catered for.

Course Materials
Each participant receives a revised edition of Using Excel for
Business Analysis by your course presenter, Danielle Stein Fairhurst.
Delegates are provided with over 50 Excel templates and examples with
step-by-step instructions for case studies.

Methodology
Many of us struggle to make sense of all the data that is available in
this information age. With such a deluge of reports and statistics
which dont mean anything or cant be made sense of, its no wonder that
data is often misinterpreted or not communicated at all. This course
will help you understand how to tame your data and make it work for
you! Learn how to synthesise information into a logical framework,
summarise it into a meaningful format, and then display the summary
into easy-to-read tables and graphs. Covering dashboard reporting,
balanced scorecards, visual design of charts and tables, we will also
discuss the new charting and analysis features of Excel 2013 and 2016.

Who should attend?
This course is aimed at managers and other professionals who need to
create dashboards and other reports in order to analyse interpret and
present information. It is expected that students should have had
some exposure to business, finance and reporting principles. This
course builds on students existing knowledge of Excel tools and
functions and incorporates these into complex and dynamic reports and
dashboards.

Learning Objectives
This course is very hands-on and practical. Each participant will be
expected to create their own reports, charts and models utilising the
tools and techniques covered during the course.

By the end of the course, participants will:
1. Understand the principles of data analysis
2. Learn to synthesise and summarise information into a logical
framework.
3. Consider when to use a chart or a table
4. Know how to use visual effects to improve their reports and
presentations
5. Explore how to summarise, present and communicate data clearly and
concisely
6. Learn the principles of good dashboard design and presenting data
graphically
7. Discover the tools to analyse data & build reports using your
existing Excel tools and skills (and perhaps a few you didnt know
you had!)
