Course Overview

Most professionals using Excel are working well below what the tool can actually do for them. Reports get rebuilt manually every week. Data pulled from multiple systems never consolidates cleanly. Automation that could run in minutes gets done by hand because nobody has had the time or structure to set it up properly.

That gap between using Excel and genuinely running Advanced Data Analytics through it is exactly what this program closes. The Advanced Excel Course covers Power Query Training, Power Pivot Training, VBA macros, VBA coding, Data Visualization in Excel, and Business Analytics with Excel. It sits within the GI Intelligence training portfolio alongside compliance and technical programs. New to Excel Data Analytics or formalizing existing skills, this Advanced Excel Training gives you the structure to get there.

  • Outline

Course Outline

Day 1: Introduction to Advanced Excel and Data Structures

  • Before automating anything, the underlying data structure needs to support it. This day covers the Advanced Excel Training framework, its core principles, and what each domain means for reporting professionals.
  • The focus is on practical application rather than feature walkthroughs for those working through the Excel Data Analytics Course preparation process.
  • Real reporting failures are used to show what happens when Data Analysis in Excel gets treated as a formatting exercise rather than a structured discipline.

Day 2: Power Query Training and Data Transformation

  • Manually cleaning and combining data is one of the most avoidable costs in any reporting function. This day covers Excel Power Query Training, connecting to multiple sources, and building transformation workflows that refresh automatically.
  • Participants work through assessing data quality issues, identifying transformation gaps, and prioritizing fixes based on actual reporting requirements.
  • The output is a working Power Query setup that participants can take back and apply to their own data environment immediately.

Day 3: Power Pivot Training and Data Modeling

  • Managing data relationships across multiple tables opens up a different level of analytical capability. This day coversPower Pivot Training in depth, including DAX logic, relationship management, and building models that support flexible analysis.
  • Advanced Data Analytics principles are applied across model design, measure creation, and performance evaluation, so participants know where analytical value sits.
  • Role-play reporting scenarios run throughout, so participants practice real data modeling conversations rather than just reading about them.

Day 4: VBA Macros, VBA Coding, and Excel Automation

  • Repetitive manual processes in Excel are a signal that automation is overdue. This day covers Visual Basic for Applications practically, how to write VBA macros, apply VBA coding to reporting tasks, and build logic that others can maintain.
  • Excel Automation Training principles, workflow documentation, and presenting automated outputs to non-technical stakeholders are all covered in depth.
  • Testing automation logic and producing tools that keep working when underlying data changes are both addressed here.

Day 5: Data Visualization, Business Analytics, and Program Consolidation

  • The final day turns the week into something usable. Building a Data Visualization in Excel dashboard, structuring Business Analytics with Excel outputs for senior audiences, and preparing for the GI Intelligence assessment.
  • Commonly tested Excel Data Analytics Course areas are reviewed, live scenarios worked through, and honest feedback given on where more preparation is needed.
  • Participants leave with an Advanced Excel for Data Analysis structure they can implement and a clear picture of their certification pathway.

  • Case Study

Case Study Example

A regional logistics company had been running weekly reporting cycles with no formal Excel Automation Training in place. Power Query and Power Pivot were available but unused, and the team was spending two full days rebuilding the same spreadsheets manually. An internal review identified six gaps in Data Analysis in Excel that are consistently overlooked. After a structured Advanced Excel Course, the reporting process was rebuilt properly. Manual effort dropped by over eighty percent in the following cycle. The lead analyst stopped treating automation as something outside their control.
