About the Course

Spreadsheet tools like Excel are an essential tool for working with data - whether for data analytics, business, marketing, or research. This course is designed to give you a basic working knowledge of Excel and how to use it for analyzing data. This course is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career in data analysis or data science, as well as anyone looking to use Excel for data analysis in their own domain. No prior experience with spreadsheets or coding is required - all you need is a device with a modern web browser and the ability to create a Microsoft account to access Excel online at no cost. If you have a desktop version of Excel, you can also easily follow along with the course. Throughout this course, you'll gain valuable experience working with data sets and spreadsheets. We'll start by introducing you to spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, and show you how to load data from multiple formats. From there, you'll learn how to perform basic data wrangling and cleansing tasks using functions, and expand your knowledge of data analysis through the use of filtering, sorting, and pivot tables. There is a strong focus on practice and applied learning in this course. With each lab, you'll have the opportunity to manipulate data and gain hands-on experience using Excel. You'll learn how to clean and format your data efficiently, and convert it into a pivot table to make it more organized and readable. The final project will allow you to showcase your newly acquired data analysis skills by working with real data sets and spreadsheets. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in using Excel for data analysis. You'll have worked with multiple data sets and spreadsheets, and will have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively clean and analyze data without having to learn any code. So let's get started!...

Can I get credit for the IBM courses I completed.

I scored 97% grade for Excel basics for Data Analytics and 89% grade in Introduction to Data Analytics but it is mentioned as a non-credit course.

I have paid the fees for the courses and I need credit to be mentioned for the interview.

It looks like some of the MS Excel for Web options have changed/been updated since this course was created, therefore some of the tasks (like converting CSV files to XLSX) are now automatically done. There are also minor discrepancies in the naming items in Excel vs. the course because of this change. Pivot tables are very important to Data Analysts I would like to have seen this lesson divided up further so not to inundate the learner with so much information. I think it should be noted that this course does not replace learning Excel in more detail.

I like how the course is structured into easily identifiable parts and in sync with the data analysis process. It would be nice to have this information in a pdf too to make the information available to be read more easily which makes it easier to refer back to. There are also quite a few issues in some of the instructions/labs/assignments which I have flagged and I think should be fixed to make this a five star course.

Some of the important topics like pivot tables were not explained properly. The whole course needs improvement with regards to teaching style, like.... this course needed in-depth teaching from scratch for beginners like us. The video quality and audio quality should have been better. Learned a lot about excel from youtube in an easy way than this IBM excel course.

It would be great if this was an elective. I would like to receive the Data Analytics certificate and the assumption was made that people taking this series don't have basic excel skills. it would have been great to be able to opt out of this and still get the certificate as a finance professional who has been using excel for many years.
