Excel is a popular spreadsheet program created by Microsoft. It is used for storing, organizing, and analyzing data in tabular form. Here are some key features and functions of Excel: 1. Spreadsheets: It consists of sheets, where each sheet is an array of cells arranged in rows and columns. It allows creating multiple sheets within a single file, facilitating the organization of different data sets. 2. Calculations and Formulas: It enables performing various mathematical, statistical, and logical calculations using formulas. It has a wide range of built-in functions, such as SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, IF, VLOOKUP, etc. 3. Formatting and Data Appearance: It provides tools for formatting data, including changing fonts, colors, styles, and creating charts, pivot tables, and diagrams. 4. Sorting, Filtering, and Grouping: It allows sorting data based on specific criteria. It enables filtering data to display only selected information. It offers the ability to group data according to requirements. 5. Data Analysis: Tools for performing advanced analyses, such as scenario analysis, trend analysis, forecasting, and creating macros. 6. Data Sharing: It enables sharing and collaborating on data in real-time, allowing multiple users to work on the same data simultaneously. 7. Task Automation: The ability to create macros and automate tasks using the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming language. Excel is widely used in various fields, from business to science and education. Its versatile features allow for data analysis, report creation, budgeting, scheduling, data management, and many other applications.

Microsoft Excel remains one of the most widely used business tools, yet many professionals still lose time on repetitive operations, manual data handling, and deciphering information that could be analysed much more quickly and efficiently with the right instruments.

This one-day course is designed for participants who work with Excel daily and want to become faster, more confident, and more effective in their daily work. Instead of pre-recorded videos, the training is conducted by a live instructor who demonstrates real business scenarios, provides practical exercises, and answers participants' specific questions in real time during the session.

Thanks to the small group format (up to two participants), the training has a consultative character. The pace, examples, and exercises can be adapted to participants' specific tasks, allowing them to obtain solutions for real prerequisites they deal with in their work.

The course covers key Excel skills necessary for faster data work – Pivot Tables, professional formatting, keyboard shortcuts and the most used business functions – and concludes with an introduction to Microsoft Copilot for Excel, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can accelerate analysis, formula creation, and report preparation.
