Who this is for
Anyone already producing reports by hand each month, analysts, and Excel users whose files have grown beyond what a spreadsheet should carry.
What you need first
Comfortable with Excel formulas, lookups and pivot tables. Power BI Desktop, which is free, and a Windows machine to run it — this is the one course here that will not work on a phone or a Mac without extra effort.
