Many people are afraid to use it, but I'll make it simple for you. We're going to build several reports, and create a PivotChart too. I will also talk about database design principles. We will create a Data Model, and I will show you how to use PivotTable with multiple tables. So, you'll be able to use Excel as a real database.
By taking this course you can really take your Excel skills to way above the average.
Don't worry if you're an absolute beginner. I'll explain everything steps by step.
