Analysing Large Datasets Using Excel: Mini Excel Masterclass Series

Overview

Analysing large datasets in Excel often requires a combination of powerful functions and logical conditions to extract valuable insights. In this course you will learn how to clean raw data in a spreadsheet using VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP to find a value, and combine INDEX and MATCH to create a two way lookup. We will also cover how to use the IF function to perform a logical test and practice creating nested IF statements. 

Whether you're categorising data, calculating metrics, or making data-driven decisions, these functions provide a robust framework for handling large datasets and deriving valuable insights.
