Looking for step-by-step tutorials for individual AI tools?

Course overview

Learn a practical sequence for answering a small data question in Excel: inspect and clean a table, calculate useful fields, summarize categories with a pivot table, and present a chart that fits the question. The four lessons use distinct, rights-checked demonstrations. Work on a copy of a permitted dataset, retain the original, and explain what your final summary does and does not show.

Inspect a table and document a defensible cleaning decision. Use a formula to calculate a field and check its result on sample rows. Summarize a category with a pivot table and select a readable chart.

No previous data-analysis experience. Basic spreadsheet navigation is helpful; use a small, non-confidential table you are allowed to work with.
