Excel is one of the most widely used solutions for analyzing and visualizing data. It now includes tools that enable the analysis of more data, with improved visualizations and more sophisticated business logic.
Some Excel functions are more powerful than others and some are more relevant to the CPA than others. For example, most CPAs will find the IF, SUM, COUNT, SUBTOTAL, TEXT, and VLOOKUP are very relevant to the CPA while other engineering and trigonometry functions such as LOG, PI, RADIENS, DELTA, TAN, COMPLEX, and HAX2DEC are typically less relevant to CPAs. It has been my experience that the following 67 functions are most relevant to the CPA; therefore CPAs wishing to increase their command of Excel functions should concentrate on these functions first.
This course gives you a deep, 100% comprehensive understanding of Excel's latest data manipulation and visualization tools and techniques. I'll show you when, why, and how to use each function and all chart type, introduce key data visualization best practices, and guide you through interactive, hands-on demos and exercises every step of the way.
