Microsoft Excel: Data Visualization w/ Excel Charts & Graphs

Microsoft Excel is an incredibly powerful and dynamic data visualization platform for those willing to think beyond rows, columns, and spreadsheets, and I'm here to prove it.

This course gives you a deep, 100% comprehensive understanding of MS Excel's latest data visualization tools and techniques. I'll show you WHEN, WHY, and HOW to use each Excel chart type, introduce key data visualization best practices, and guide you through interactive, hands-on demos and Excel exercises every step of the way.

We'll kick things off by exploring each of the 20+ charts & graphs in Excel, including:

From there we'll dive into a series of advanced Excel demos guaranteed to turn you into an absolute data visualization and analytics rockstar.
