Excel Data Analysis Skill Sprint

Service Description

Excel Data Analysis Skill Sprint: Build a real dashboard, learn the workflow, and stop guessing. Event Overview Excel Data Analysis Skill Sprint is a hands-on, beginner-friendly sprint designed to teach you how analysts actually work in Excel. You won’t just learn functions and charts in isolation. You’ll learn a repeatable workflow: clean data, structure it, analyze it, and turn it into a clear dashboard with insights you can explain. The goal is simple: leave with a practical skillset and a portfolio-ready output you can reuse. What We’ll Cover 1. The Analyst Workflow in Excel How to think like an analyst: defining the question, choosing the right metrics, and avoiding common reporting mistakes. 2. Data Cleaning and Structuring Fixing messy data, handling duplicates and blanks, formatting correctly, and preparing tables so analysis becomes easy instead of painful. 3. Core Analysis Tools (That Actually Matter) PivotTables and PivotCharts, sorting/filtering, calculated fields, basic descriptive stats, and smart ways to summarize performance. 4. KPI Design and Dashboard Building Selecting meaningful KPIs, designing a clean dashboard layout, building visuals that communicate fast, and creating a simple story from numbers. 5. Insights and Business Communication How to write a short insight summary: what changed, why it matters, and what to do next. Turning your dashboard into something decision-makers understand. What You’ll Gain * A complete Excel dashboard you can add to your portfolio * A reusable analysis workflow you can apply to new datasets * Confidence using PivotTables, PivotCharts, and KPI logic * A practical template for insight summaries and reporting * Clear next steps for leveling up into more advanced analysis Who This Is For University students, early-career professionals, career switchers, and anyone who uses Excel at work but wants to become genuinely effective with data. Perfect if you want a structured path and an output to show, not just “knowledge.” Who It’s Not For People looking for shortcuts without practice, or anyone expecting job guarantees. Also not ideal if you already build advanced Excel BI-style dashboards daily and want only high-level edge cases. Closing If you want to stop “doing Excel” and start doing analysis, this sprint gives you the workflow, the structure, and the output to prove it.
