A Comprehensive Excel Masterclass

Illinois Tech connects data preparation and pivot tables with financial modeling and dashboards. Loan models and investment-project evaluation provide applied examples. The course is an intermediate business-oriented comparison for learners who already use formulas and worksheets and want to connect those skills with a more structured analytical workbook.

What you will learn

• Use pivot tables and Power Query to explore data.
• Relate spreadsheet models to loans and investment projects.
• Build a dashboard that communicates an analysis.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners with formulas, worksheets and basic data-manipulation skills in Excel.

Before you enroll

Check the Excel edition, operating system and required features before enrolling. Use fictional or permitted data, retain the original file and inspect formulas and source ranges before trusting a chart or dashboard.

Put it into practice

Create a fictional loan workbook with clearly separated inputs and formulas. Change one assumption and verify that the related dashboard responds as expected.
