This course is designed to build strong, practical Excel skills for professionals who regularly handle data but want to work faster, cleaner, and with more confidence. Participants move from core Excel functions to structured data analysis, while also learning how Microsoft Copilot can support formula building, data interpretation, and productivity—without replacing fundamental Excel thinking.
Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016, Excel 2019, Office 365, Microsoft 365
*Copilot only available to certain versions
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
