In today's fast-paced business world, quickly analyzing large data sets is essential, especially in banking. With vast amounts of data at our fingertips, we can generate insights to guide decision-making. Best of all, effective data analytics can often be achieved using tools you likely already have, like Microsoft Excel.
This course will launch your data analytics journey, starting with foundational concepts and data strategy. We will build on those basics, moving into more in-depth analysis, including ways to build routines for automated data analysis. We will work through real-life examples, which will include items such as evaluating loan information, general ledger detail, employee expense reimbursements, and more.
The course will focus heavily on using Excel for data analysis, including functions like pivot tables, Power Query, and Power Pivot. No advanced Excel skills are required, as we will start from the basics and build up your proficiency throughout the 2.5 days.
While not mandatory, we strongly encourage attendees to bring a laptop or other device to this institute in order to follow-along with the instructor and gain hands-on experience. We also suggest you have access to the Get & Transform functionality (Power Query and Power Pivot) in Excel which will be beneficial for exploring automated capabilities.
