Training Effective Data Communication in Excel
Everyone who works with data needs to communicate their findings, their analysis, and their conclusions. It could be in an internal briefing or memo, a management report, an annual report or a scientific article.But how do you present your data in a powerful way? How do you achieve the goal of your presentation? How do you tell a story with your data to convince your reader or your audience? Knowledge about effective data communication is essential.
In this 3 hour online workshop we explore how to expand the data visualisation capacities of the Microsoft Excel software tool. Though there are more and more tools available to analyze and visualise data, Excel continues to be the leader in the field, used by millions around the world every day.
This workshop focuses on data visualisation in Excel. You will learn how to extend the tool to create a number of new and exciting visualisations and templates, in which we look beyond the nondefault chart options.
Content

We will explore the conditional formatting menu, learn how to combine chart types, and how to move away from the basic line, bar, and pie chart.
