About the Course

Learn how to create data visualizations and dashboards using spreadsheets and analytics tools. This course covers some of the first steps for telling a compelling story with your data using various types of charts and graphs. You'll learn the basics of visualizing data with Excel and IBM Cognos Analytics without having to write any code. You'll start by creating simple charts in Excel such as line, pie and bar charts. You will then create more advanced visualizations with Treemaps, Scatter Charts, Histograms, Filled Map Charts, and Sparklines. Next you’ll also work with the Excel PivotChart feature as well as assemble several visualizations in an Excel dashboard. This course also teaches you how to use business intelligence (BI) tools like Cognos Analytics to create interactive dashboards. By the end of the course you will have an appreciation for the key role that data visualizations play in communicating your data analysis findings, and the ability to effectively create them. Throughout this course there will be numerous hands-on labs to help you develop practical experience for working with Excel and Cognos. There is also a final project in which you’ll create a set of data visualizations and an interactive dashboard to add to your portfolio, which you can share with peers, professional communities or prospective employers....

I wish there is more information about the clear instruction using Mac compared to PC. Many function and steps are different if you use Mac. It takes time to figure things out without proper instruction. Otherwise, it's great.

The part of the course on Microsoft Excel was high-quality and sufficient, on IBM Cognos it was high-quality and unfortunately insufficient, there could have been more information on several options and functions of Cognos.

In general the course was great. The only thing is that for very beginners is really difficult to grasp even after a few attempts, therefore instructions should be broken down more in detail.

I really enjoyed the course and how it explains in detail to make dashboards. I feel confident with working with IBM cognos now, However a little bit of more practice would have been better.

This course was not easy, I have never used IBM Cognos before. I was nervous logging into it and making sure I am doing it right. I end up using 2 monitors to see what I am doing.

I really feel like I learned a lot, but in the final exam it was very difficult for me to understand what was being asked, because the instructions were not clear enough.

There were some issues using the file in IBM Cognos after this was uploaded. Some people submitted in discussion forum for help, but any could help with the real problem.

Key elements of software used were explained well. IBM cognos software has been updated since this was written however and there have been some minor relevant changes.
