Welcome to my course "Converting Data into Information Using Excel" This course is designed to help you grow beyond using basic Excel spreadsheet creation and formatting skills, and show you how to use Excel to add value in ways you were not previously exposed to. I specifically cover proper database creation, the vlookup formula, pivot table reporting, filtering and several text formulas including the "If" formula.
My sharing philosophy is to go beyond just explaining Excel techniques to showing you how to use them in ways that will be helpful to you. Everything I show comes from what I consider "best practices" during my 30+ years using using spreadsheets and Excel in my ongoing career.
Please watch my introductory video and please enroll if you are interested. I am confident that you will find it worthwhile. The spreadsheet I used in the class lessons is attached in the class project section and you may use it as a learning aid to help you with your class project.
Your class project is to apply what you learned by:
1) Creating at least 2 data tables that follow the three database rules taught in the first lesson.
2) Using vlookup and primary keys to add fields to one table from another.
3) Using pivot table to create at least 3 reports.
As I mentioned in the class description, the spreadsheet I used in the class lessons is attached in the class project section and you may use it as a learning aid to help you with your class project.
I will review each project and be happy to answer any questions and share helpful information to improve your use of the information learned in my course.
