Why study this course

This course is intended to help proficient users reach new heights with the advanced features of Excel, Microsoft’s powerful and easy-to-use spreadsheet program.

Learn how to create complex formulas, utilise a wide range of functions, and develop dynamic charts and reports. In addition, you'll learn how to automate repetitive tasks using macros, and gain a practical understanding of data analysis tools such as Solver, data linking, Pivot Charts, and controls.

By the end of the course, you'll have acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to work confidently with Excel at an advanced level.

This course builds on what was learned in Microsoft Excel - Beginner and Intermediate. After completing this course, you may be interested in Excel Expert or one of our Excel Specialist courses.

Note: Excel 2016, Excel 2019, Excel 2021, and Excel 365 are all desktop application versions of Microsoft Excel. Excel 2016, Excel 2019, and Excel 2021 are the perpetual, bought-outright, stand-alone versions of the software; Excel 365 is the subscription-based version. Anyone working with any of these versions will be able to successfully complete this course. Throughout this course you will be using the desktop app; the course does not cover use of the web/online app.
