Inspect & Improve Data Sources

Data always starts off as a simple list and the default approach is to use the “presentation way” to capture your data. As the amount of data increases over time, you will find that the data in your possession become more difficult, challenging and time consuming to manage. To ensure that you do not end up in this state, we have created a set of rules for you to apply to any data in your domain.

Maintain Data

Keeping your data in tip top condition ensure that you can make use of it for analysis and to quickly update your existing reports with the latest data. Maintaining the data in good quality is utmost importance in this step. We will show you different tools within Excel you can use to effectively maintain the data in tip top conditions.

Analyze Data

Data analysis goes beyond simple summation of data, top 5 performers and filter. There is a need to perform more complex calculations such as growth over the previous period, comparison of data between this period and previous period, variance and year to date values, just to name a few. All these calculations could be easily achieved with the advanced version of pivot table called Power Pivot Table. In our program, we will progressively introduce formulas based on level of difficulties.

Present analysis results

Presenting your analysis in clear and easy to understand tables and charts is focus of this section. In this section, you will learn the different types of charts and tables you can use to make the presentation more interesting.
