Learn how to turn raw data into clear, actionable insights using Excel. In this one-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to organize and clean datasets, apply essential formulas like SUM, IF, and XLOOKUP, and explore data using sorting and filtering techniques. We’ll also cover creating and using PivotTables to quickly summarize large datasets, as well as building charts (bar, line, and pie) to visualize trends and patterns. Perfect for beginners, this session focuses on practical, hands-on techniques you can immediately apply to real-world data.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The main reason to attend this webinar is to gain practical, job-relevant skills in analysing data using Excel, one of the most widely used tools across industries. In just one hour, you’ll learn how to quickly summarize data with PivotTables, apply essential formulas, and create charts that turn numbers into clear insights. Whether you're a student, professional, or beginner, this training will help you work more efficiently, make better data-driven decisions, and add a valuable skill to your toolkit.
