Course Overview:
The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools
for data analysis.In this course, you will learn how to use various Excel’s functions/formulas. You will see the power of
Excel and its ability to summarize data in flexible ways, enabling quick exploration of data.

The learnings of this course will be useful for other courses of core functional areas like, Statistics, Economics,and
Marketing etc. The students will use the tools and knowledge provided in this course to analyze the data they will get in
upcoming courses.
