Why Attend

Rationale
The fact is that Excel is the accountant’s, finance, and business professional’s best friend. Companies everywhere are overwhelmed by the abundance of unstructured and unclean data.

This hands-on course will advance your data massaging, modeling, integration and automation skills to new levels. You will also master normalization and massaging of noisy data, preparation of reports, analysis and reconciliation.
This is an Excel-based course allowing you to develop an exclusive level of expertise and adding immediate value to your job and company.
