Excel for Data Analysts Course in Mohali: Tools & Technologies Covered

The Excel for Data Analysts course in Mohali covers the Excel tools and related technologies analysts use every day to clean, analyse and present data. This page lists those tools in detail, explains what each is used for and shows how they come together in practical projects.

Core Excel Features for Analysis

Tables and structured references

Converting ranges to Excel Tables so formulas, formatting and charts update automatically as data grows.

Lookup and reference functions

XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH for combining data from multiple sheets.

Logical and text functions

IF, IFS, AND, OR, TEXTSPLIT, LEFT, MID, TRIM and CONCAT for cleaning and categorising data.

Dynamic array functions

FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, SEQUENCE and LET for flexible, formula-driven reports.

Date and aggregation functions

SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, EOMONTH and NETWORKDAYS for period-based analysis.

Data Preparation with Power Query

Power Query lets you import data from CSV files, folders, databases and web sources, then clean it with repeatable steps: removing duplicates, splitting columns, unpivoting, merging and appending queries. Once built, a query refreshes with one click when new data arrives, which saves hours of manual work.

Summarising with PivotTables and Power Pivot

• PivotTables: grouping, filtering, calculated fields and value settings for fast summaries.

• Slicers and timelines: interactive filters for reports.

• Data Model and Power Pivot: relating multiple tables without lookups.

• DAX basics: measures such as total sales, year-to-date and percentage of total calculated in the model.

Visualisation and Dashboards

You learn which chart fits which question, including column, line, combo, scatter, waterfall and map charts, plus conditional formatting, sparklines and data bars. These are combined into one-page dashboards with slicers so managers can explore results themselves.

Analysis Tools and Techniques

• What-If Analysis: Goal Seek, Scenario Manager and data tables

• Analysis ToolPak for descriptive statistics and regression

• Data validation and drop-down lists for clean input

• Basic forecasting with FORECAST functions and Forecast Sheet

• Introduction to macros and recording simple automations

Related Technologies Introduced

Because Excel often sits alongside other analytics tools, the course introduces how Excel connects to Power BI, how to export clean data for SQL databases and how Google Sheets handles similar tasks. This helps you move to the next tool with confidence.

Projects Using These Tools

• A sales performance dashboard with slicers and KPIs

• A cleaned and merged customer dataset built with Power Query

• An HR attendance or payroll summary using PivotTables

• A budget vs actual report with variance analysis

Who Should Join

Students, commerce and management graduates, MIS executives, accountants and anyone moving towards data analyst roles will find these tools directly useful at work.
