- Students will learn many aspects of Microsoft Excel, and find ways to quickly sort through large data sets. The goal of the course is not only to learn how to use the tools, but to understand the data, and what tools can be used to sort through it. We will cover a lot of topics in the course, with the goal that students will understand how to use Excel, and learn a lot of neat tips and tricks to make them data analysis ninjas.
I teach Excel, PowerBI, Sheets, and many other spreadsheet programs to various levels of students. I find that exploring data can be fun and exciting, particularly when you find unknown or new connections or conclusions you were unaware of in the data.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Microsoft Excel is recommended for this course. It may be possible to complete most of the course using other software (such as Google Sheets) but in this course we will be working with Excel.
