More about this course
  • On this four-week course from The Excel Club, you will learn to work with Excel charts and visualisations, when to use each one and how to make it look great.
  • You'll start this course by looking at the fundamentals of charting in Excel, from inserting charts to working with the different elements of charts such as axes, labels, and gridlines.
  • Once you have the basics, you'll begin to explore the most common excel charts, including line charts, bar and column charts, and histograms. With each type of chart, you'll delve into when you might use them and how best to optimise them for data visualisation.
  • With so many different charts to choose from, most people will stick with the more well-known ones, but there are so many options that can portray your data more effectively.
  • Week three of the course will take you through the charts that you don't see as often. Whether it's bubble charts, waterfall charts, or treemaps, you'll cover how to create each type of chart as well as the limitations they may have in trying to showcase your message.
  • The final week will guide you through visualisations that aren't charts. You'll discover how to work with boxplots, sparklines, and slicers and timelines, each with their own pros and cons.
  • To wrap up this course, you'll learn how to create a basic Excel dashboard in 20 minutes, from design and development to organising the data efficiently.
