Microsoft programs are so commonplace in most business environments that sometimes being incredibly proficient in their use can be overlooked. Despite spending more time than you’d like to think about using Excel and Powerpoint, there are a ton of tips and tricks you’re likely not using yet. If you know how to dig deep into advanced functionalities with these programs, you'll vastly improve the way you do your work.

If you work with data regularly, you'll find the Microsoft Data Analysis Bundle incredibly helpful to your everyday workflow. And even if you don't crunch numbers for a living, being a data-driven employee and candidate only increases your value and employability. This course shows you how to use Microsoft Power BI, Advanced Excel, Advanced VBA and Advanced Microsoft Access with total proficiency.

More specifically, these are a few of the skills you’ll learn:

How to make your data interactive: Spreadsheets can do more than help you organize information. One of the best use cases of Advanced Excel is automating the development of advanced graphs, creating a visual that's powerful enough to be actionable from a business standpoint.

How to develop compelling data visuals: Data can tell a story and Microsoft Power BI gives you ways to present your data in compelling formats, performing complex data modeling relationships and generating dashboards that you can share with colleagues and clients.

How to automate complex tasks: We all have to do mundane, tedious tasks sometimes. With Advanced VBA, you can write and implement Excel events, which automates these tasks. It's also CPDUK-accredited, so it looks good on your resume (especially when you say you're a lifetime learner).

How to hone advanced techniques: Whether you have a basic knowledge of Microsoft programs or consider yourself a power user, there are ways to streamline your workflow and be more efficient with your time. Using Microsoft Access, you'll learn how to create and maintain macros and even discover advanced options for the use of forms.
