Excel Pivot Tables course PART 1/4 – Free Udemy Courses

Hi, my name is Bartosz and I’m the author of this course that can be found on udemy and Excel BI Academy .com. In today’s data world, fast analysis is worth its weight in gold, and each of us is an analyst. And how to efficiently analyze data in Excel?

With a pivot table, of course.

It is a mechanism with which you can quickly create automated, interactive, functional reports in Excel and design them graphically in a dashboard. Since there are millions of “pivots” in the world every day since 1994, I believe that the pivot table is the most important functionality of Excel and the best data analysis tool ever.

To make it easier for you to learn about this functionality, I have prepared a course in which I describe the pivot table mechanism from A to Z (you can find also find a second course: Formulas and operations on Excel data). The course consists only of hands-on exercises in which I share my many years of experience working with a pivot table and show you various tricks. Thanks to it, you will quickly learn to work with a pivot table and learn about the possibilities of creating dashboards with their use.
