Hi!

Welcome to the brand-new version of The Excel Dashboard and Data Analysis Course, Udemy's best-selling dashboards course.

This course was just completely overhauled to prepare students for the 2021 job market, with over 12 hours of brand new content. This is the only course you need to learn excel dashboards and data analysis.

There are a lot of options for online excel training, but this course is without a doubt the most comprehensive and effective on the market. Here's why:

  1. This is the only Udemy course taught by a professional Bootcamp instructor-teacher with over 20 years of experience in Excel, and a track record of success.

  2. Everything I cover is up-to-date and relevant to 2021's excel data analysis job market. This course does not cut any corners. I just spent 4 months redoing this behemoth of a course!

  3. We build 2 projects, 2 complete dashboards. No other course walks you through the creation of creating a dashboard, with such details.

  4. The course is constantly updated with new content, projects, and modules. Think of it as a subscription to a never-ending supply of developer training.


Throughout the brand new version of the course, we cover tons of excel tools:

  • We’ll start by covering the key Design principles of dashboards, the creation process, color tips and layouts.

  • Then I’ll walk you through all the methods of importing data into Excel.

  • After that, I’ll explain in detail over 20 functions and formulas that we use in dashboards.

  • Then we’ll dive into basic charts, advanced charting techniques, and basic dashboard components, like sparklines, data bars, color scales, icon sets, etc.

  • Once we’ve mastered the basics, I’ll walk you through all the advanced dashboards components, like drop-down lists, filters, panel charts, rollover method, etc

  • Also, I’ll walk you through over 5 different interactive advanced charts, like bullet graph, small multiples, and infographics.

  • After that, I’ll explain in detail all the form controls with demo and examples.

  • The next section is about data analysis using pivot tables and charts.

  • Once you complete a few sections, you will enter the first major milestone project. Here we combine all the methods you learned, to create a social media dashboard.

  • Finally, you’re going to create together with me 4 dashboards from scratch starting with planning and setup.

    • A business sales dashboard

    • A KPI dashboard

    • A Pivot Slicer Dashboard

    • A Traffic lights Dashboard

  • All these come with templates and samples that can be applied directly to your business.

  • After that, you will enter the second major milestone project, and you are going to create with me an auto part sales dashboard.

  • I cover also how to protect and share your dashboard with the outside world.

  • Also, you’ll learn advanced topics, like how with the aid of a macro and simple VBA code, little touches will help make the perusal of your dashboard a bit more pleasant.

  • Once you complete every section, you’ll have quizzes and exercises to solve and fully understand the theory.

  • If you want to study offline, I have over 100 pages of documentation, and a detailed table of contents, so you can easily find anything in the course.

Comparisons and Data Bars (with Conditional Formatting) Preview 05:15

Similar to sparklines, conditional formatting provides a way to visualize data and make worksheets easier to understand. Conditional formatting is more flexible, applying specified formatting only when certain conditions are met. By applying conditional formatting to your data, you can quickly identify variances in a range of values with a quick glance. It allows you to automatically apply formatting—such as colors, icons, and data bars—to one or more cells based on the cell value.

Data Bars are horizontal bars added to each cell, much like a bar graph. Using the data bars conditional formatting option can sometimes serve as a quick alternative to creating a chart

DEMO: Create a Dashboard using Sparklines Preview 05:04

Sparklines are one of the best chart types to include in dashboards

Sparklines were first introduced by Edward Tufte in his book Beautiful Evidence. Tufte says: “A sparkline is a small intense, simple, word-sized graphic with typographic resolution.” Stephen Few expands Tufte's definition in his book Information Dashboard Design: “Their whole purpose is to provide a quick sense of historical context to enrich the meaning of the measure. This is exactly what's required in a dashboard.”

In this Dashboard each item of information is displayed in a way that can be quickly examined to assess performance.

To do that, I will use formulas, with the help of INDEX, MATCH, AVERAGEIF, COUNTIFS, IFERROR and HYPERLINK functions. Also, I will use the Rollover Method, User Defined Functions or UDF, Macros, VBA code, Advanced Filter and conditional formatting.

You will learn a lot of new staff in this video tutorial, so pay attention because it’s a crafty tutorial.
