Who this is for
Office staff, shop and warehouse record keepers, students preparing for work, and anyone whose job involves numbers kept in a book or in someone's head.
What you need first
Basic computer use — files, folders, typing. Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc installed. A desktop or laptop; this cannot be learned on a phone.

What this course sets out to do

  • Build spreadsheets that stay correct when data is added or rows are moved.
  • Use formulas and functions to answer questions rather than to retype figures.
  • Summarise large amounts of data quickly with sorting, filtering and pivot tables.
  • Present numbers so the reader draws the right conclusion.
  • Lay out a workbook so somebody else can use it without asking you.

What you will be able to do

  • Write formulas using absolute and relative references correctly.
  • Use IF, SUMIF, COUNTIF, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, and text and date functions.
  • Clean an untidy dataset into something analysable.
  • Build a pivot table and chart to answer a specific question.
  • Protect and validate a sheet so others cannot break it by accident.
  • Produce a one-page summary report from raw data.
