Overview
Data Analysis and Forecasting in Excel develops the skills needed to turn spreadsheet data into useful insights and informed forecasts. The course introduces data preparation, spreadsheet organisation, formulas, sorting, filtering, charts, summary statistics, trend analysis, forecasting methods, and visual reporting. Participants will learn how structured Excel workflows can help identify patterns, compare results, monitor performance, and support planning across business, finance, operations, sales, and other professional settings.
Working with data effectively involves more than entering figures into a spreadsheet. Participants will explore ways to clean and organise datasets, select suitable analytical techniques, create meaningful visualisations, examine historical trends, and interpret results. The training also considers forecasting assumptions, time-based data, trend lines, moving averages, scenario thinking, and presenting findings clearly. Attention is given to checking data quality and recognising uncertainty, helping participants avoid treating forecasts as guaranteed outcomes.
The course can complement professional development across data analysis, business intelligence, finance, administration, marketing, operations, sales, project support, and management. Data Analysis and Forecasting in Excel is suitable for aspiring analysts, business professionals, students, administrators, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking stronger spreadsheet-based analytical abilities. Participants can strengthen transferable qualities including numerical reasoning, critical thinking, organisation, problem-solving, data interpretation, attention to detail, reporting, decision-making, planning, visual communication, accuracy, and analytical judgement.
