Advanced Excel refers to the Microsoft Excel skills used to analyse, model and automate business data, beyond basic formulas and formatting. It includes lookup functions such as XLOOKUP and INDEX-MATCH, PivotTables, dashboards, What-If Analysis and macros. Finance, HR, sales and operations teams use it to turn raw data into reports and forecasts. Microsoft’s official Excel Expert exam, MO-211, tests four skill areas: managing workbook options, managing and formatting data, advanced formulas and macros, and advanced charts and tables.
Practise every topic through guided exercises, applying each formula and feature in Excel as you learn it.
Keep a reference guide to every formula and function covered in the course.
Test your Excel skills at the start and end of the course to measure how much you have improved.
Complete a project built around your role and industry, such as sales, HR, finance or education data analysis.
Financial analysts, accountants, controllers, and finance managers who need to enhance reporting efficiency and financial modelling capabilities.
Professionals responsible for transforming raw data into actionable insights, KPI tracking, and performance reporting.
Team members who manage inventory, schedules, tracking systems, or any process that requires structured data management.
Specialists who work with campaign metrics, sales performance data, and customer analytics requiring sophisticated reporting.
Leaders who track project budgets, resource allocation, timeline management, and need comprehensive reporting dashboards.
Departments looking to automate workflows, improve data quality, and implement standardised reporting solutions.
Every learner completes one main project built around their own industry and role. The project can be a sales, HR, finance or education data analysis, or any other domain you work in. The practical sessions are adapted to your project, so you practise on data like your own.
Bring in sales data from several sources, such as CSV files and databases. Remove duplicates, fix missing values and apply one consistent format across the datasets.
Add date rules, drop-down lists for products and regions, and input limits. Error alerts stop wrong entries before they reach the data.
Write formulas for revenue, profit and commission. They account for discounts, variable costs and tiered commission rates.
Create sales reports by product, salesperson, month and quarter. Then build an interactive dashboard with PivotTables, slicers and charts to track performance.
After the course, you can handle the data analysis and reporting work that office, finance and operations roles in the UAE require.
