About Microsoft Excel 2016 Training

Back in 1988, Bill Gates introduced Microsoft Office to the world at COMDEX in Las Vegas. That was the beginning of an epic journey of different applications, servers and services under the loyal name “Microsoft”. Since then Microsoft Excel and other applications have grown substantially and been taking a pivot role in our daily work life and professional growth. Even if you know that it is true, would you believe it without proof? No. Zilch! So, here’s the proof. On the 10^th day of July in 2012, Softpedia gave the report that Microsoft Office has been using by a billion people worldwide.

But that was four years ago. You are reading this right now. It is 2016 and you want to know how any course would help you get ahead in using Microsoft Excel 2016 right now. Let’s talk about it.

Yes. It’s the age of analysis. And if Microsoft Excel doesn’t outperform everything else in analytics why should you use it?

Here’s why Microsoft Excel 2016 exceeds your expectation.

• Most widely used data analysis tool: Microsoft Excel is the most sought after analytic tool of 2016. Why? Think about this! In 2012, over a billion of users were using Microsoft office. At that time the world population was 7.043 billion; that means over 1/7^th of population used to take the advantage of Microsoft Office. This is 2016 and the population is now 7.4 billion. If for a second, we assume that the users of Microsoft Office only increased in proportion (which maybe a hilarious assumption!) that means more than 1.057 billion people use Microsoft Excel and Office. Do you think anything else can beat that?

• Swifter ways to get data: You have a lot of business questions to answer and your boss will only believe you if you show him the evidence. With Microsoft Excel 2016 you can do it much faster that you expect. Microsoft Excel 2016 has a built-in functionality that enables you to get and transform your data which will help you bring in all the data in one place. Previously it was available only in the form of Power Query (an add-in) now is available within Microsoft Excel 2016. Go to the Data tab and you would be able to access it from “Get & Transform” section.

• Streamlined data analysis: Why people use excel? Because it delivers time and time again the most powerful and flexible analysis experience. In 2010 and 2013 the experience was magnified by introducing Power Pivot and the Data Model instead of most familiar PivotTable. In 2016, Microsoft steps ahead and offers an experience which is in their term “more discoverable, consistent and streamlined.”

• New Forecasting Abilities: Microsoft Excel 2016 is all about discovering new in a way which beats the competition and you can do almost every analysis just by a touch of a button. In previous versions of Microsoft Excel, only one could do linear forecasting. In Microsoft Excel 2016, the FORECAST function has been extended and now one can do forecasting on the basis of exponential smoothing (i.e. FORECAST.ETS()…)

• New and Modern Charts: Come back to your boss who is left-brain evidence seeking professional like most bosses. So what would you do to make him grin at you in wonder? Use Microsoft Excel 2016 for effective visuals. Story telling has become the main part of every analysis and presentation. Thus it is indispensable that you concentrate on new set of charts that are being provided in Microsoft Excel 2016 to cut the monotony and surprise the people in the meeting.

• Use Power BI: With the new Power BI Desktop you would be able share your report with right people. If you prepare a stunning, visual presentation and are not able to share the same with right people why do that at the first place? Once you are done with your analysis in Microsoft Excel 2016, you would be able to share the same with your workgroup or clients through Power BI by just pressing a button. Sounds fun? There is more to it. Once you publish the analysis in Power BI, you will be able use the data models and construct powerful, interactive reports and dashboards within minutes.

The above may sound fun and exciting, but how would you learn the things that you need to learn in Microsoft Excel 2016.
