Advanced Formula Techniques
Excel frequently needs you to conduct complex analyses on enormous data sets. Array Formulas, which can run several calculations simultaneously and verify the accuracy of your spreadsheet, may make this a lot easier. This topic explains how to use Array Formulas, including how to use array formulas in calculations, Apply structured references in formulas, explain and build formulas with array formulas, and how to use them effectively.

Data Cleaning and Preparation
This topic focuses on data preparation and cleansing. You'll learn how to employ dynamic and automatic repairs to clean up problematic data, automate these procedures with functions, and keep data clean dynamically. To assist us to construct a long-lasting solution, we'll use functions to update dates, replace blanks, and eliminate undesirable characters from data.

Financial Functions and Working with Dates
Financial functions are introduced in this module to our Excel knowledge base. Financial operations are frequently utilized in businesses, and Excel has a number of features to assist you. In this topic, you'll learn how to employ date formulas in calculations, establish loan schedules with financial functions, and use depreciation functions.

Advanced Lookup Functions
Making your spreadsheets (and job!) more automatic is always a smart idea. Automated lookups can help you get more done in less time. This topic improves your array skills by looking at how to create dynamic lookup ranges using INDIRECT, ADDRESS, OFFSET, and INDEX functions.

Building Professional Dashboard
This topic brings it all together by guiding you through the steps of creating a professional dashboard. Data is pointless unless it can be used to tell a story and provide business intelligence. This session will teach you how to design a dashboard, including how to use graphs and charts to visualize data, create data models, and add interactivity.
