If you already get by in Excel and want the tools that save real hours, this course was built for that. Pivot tables, lookups and dynamic tables, worked on the kind of data you deal with.
You already live in spreadsheets. Pivot tables and lookups turn the reports you build by hand into something that updates itself, which gives you your afternoons back.
Every team has someone they take the messy file to. Cross-referencing, dynamic tables and pivot charts are how you become that person.
Around 30 hours, self paced, with 6 months of access. You can fit this around a full week of work and still be done soon.
Advanced Excel is one of those skills that quietly opens doors, because almost every team runs on spreadsheets. The work is easy to picture: taking a messy export and turning it into a report someone can make a decision from.
Building and maintaining the reports a team runs on. Pivot tables and lookups are the daily tools.
Getting data into shape before it is used. Importing, cross-referencing and preparing data are covered directly.
Watching the numbers behind how a business runs. The dynamic table and pivot chart work is how those views get built.
Pivot charts are the starting point for the summary views managers ask for every month.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Analyst titles usually ask for broader data or finance background alongside the spreadsheet skills.
Six topics, worked through at your own pace.
Here is what stands out in this course.
No time spent on formatting cells. This is stage three: lookups, dynamic tables, pivot tables and pivot charts.
Preparing data for reporting is its own topic, alongside importing plain text files. The unglamorous parts that make everything else work.
Unlimited tutor support by phone and email in business hours, for when a formula will not behave.

That is what it is built for. Pivot tables, lookups and prepared data are the difference between rebuilding a report every month and refreshing one.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. That is a different thing. For spreadsheet skills it is no barrier: what employers care about is whether you can build the report.
Yes. There is a 10-day money back guarantee. If it is not right, you get your money back.
