Excel Data Analysis for Engineers and Scientists

How our class will boost your Excel data skills.

Our 1-day class shows you how to rapidly analyze, report, and visualize data by combining Excel's data elements, formulas, and charts. It covers essential topics like how to use various formulas, functions, filters, and logic to process data. Data collection strategies between worksheets and workbooks are also explored. It also shows how to use charts, PivotTables, slicers, and Pivot Charts to rapidly create reports and visualize data.

In addition to the essentials, topics like curve fitting; parsing text / times; Conditional Formatting; and building array formulas to process data are also discussed. You'll also explore how to use Power Query to automatically import and filter data for your formulas, charts, and reports.
