Course Modules
Module 1: Reliable Workbook Structure
Workbook organization, Excel tables, named ranges, data types, structured references, formatting standards, keyboard shortcuts, and practices that reduce reporting errors.
Module 2: Advanced Formulas and Functions
IF and nested logic, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, text functions, date functions, error handling, lookup methods, and combining formulas to solve realistic office problems.
Module 3: Data Cleaning and Validation
Remove duplicates, identify missing or inconsistent records, split and combine fields, standardize dates and names, apply validation rules, and document cleaning decisions.
Module 4: PivotTables and Analysis
Create reusable summaries, group records, calculate totals and percentages, use slicers, build PivotCharts, and answer management questions from transactional data.
Module 5: Dashboards and Visualization
Select suitable KPIs, build summary cards and charts, apply conditional formatting, create interactive filters, and present findings clearly without overcrowding the report.
Module 6: Power Query and Basic Automation
Import and transform files, combine recurring reports, refresh queries, record simple macros, and decide when automation is appropriate. Power Query handles repeatable data-import and transformation steps; recorded macros replay selected workbook actions. Writing and maintaining VBA code is a separate programming skill and is outside the core scope unless included in the current batch outline.
Module 7: Business Reporting Projects
Complete practical assignments such as sales performance, expense monitoring, attendance, inventory, HR, or departmental reporting. The final workbook includes source data, cleaning steps, calculations, summaries, visuals, and usage notes.
Module 8: Workbook Auditing, Protection and Controls
Trace formulas and dependencies, check common errors, review data-validation rules, reconcile totals, protect sheets and workbook structure, document assumptions, and apply clear version-control practices so reports can be reviewed and maintained responsibly.
Practical Outcomes
After completing the required exercises, learners should be able to prepare a structured workbook, clean a dataset, choose suitable formulas, build PivotTable summaries, create a dashboard, troubleshoot common spreadsheet errors, and explain the results. Outcomes depend on attendance, practice, and completion of assignments.
