Course overview
Course Introduction
Data has become more accessible than ever, generated through our daily activities, purchases, and business operations.

In the "Data Management, Manipulation & Analysis using Excel®" training course, participants will learn to leverage Excel for data querying, hypothesis testing, and solving complex problems.
