Excel course

In preparation

Practical Excel for professional work

A course on using a spreadsheet for real tasks — organising data, calculating without errors, and cutting down work that is redone every week.

01

Status

The course is in preparation. There is no enrolment and no sale yet.

We give no date, price or duration, because none is settled — and stating them “approximately” would simply be untrue. The scope below describes what we plan, and it may still change. If the course interests you, write to us and we will get in touch when it is ready.

02

After the course it will be easier to…

  • organise data so that it can actually be worked with
  • build clear summaries that someone else can read too
  • use the functions that genuinely help at work
  • analyse data and reach a conclusion, not just a table
  • cut down repetitive, manual work
  • prepare a sheet that can be checked and corrected

Planned scope

The programme is in preparation. The outline below shows the direction of the course, not a closed list.

  1. 01

    Organising data and sound spreadsheet foundations

    A data layout that does not obstruct later work: one table, unambiguous columns, consistent formats.

  2. 02

    Formulas and functions in everyday work

    The set of functions that covers most real tasks, and how to build formulas that are still readable a month later.

  3. 03

    Looking up and combining data

    Bringing information together from several sources, and keeping control of what was matched with what.

  4. 04

    Analysis and summarising data

    From a raw data set to a summary that answers a specific question.

  5. 05

    Summaries and charts

    Presenting the result: pivot tables and charts chosen for what needs to be visible.

  6. 06

    Reducing repetitive work

    Tidying up tasks done regularly so they take less time and leave less room for error.

04

Who it is for

For people who work with data in a spreadsheet every day and want to do it faster and with more confidence — in technical, office and analytical roles. This is not a course for programmers, nor a course in advanced analytics.

Practical familiarity with a spreadsheet at everyday-use level is enough. We adapt the scope to the group.

05

Who teaches

The course is led by a practitioner: a SCADA engineer, trainer and academic lecturer specialising in the practical use of spreadsheets and IT tools in professional work.
