What the course covers

  • Three courses pair ChatGPT with Excel data exploration/storytelling, formula and visualization work, and a broad prompt-engineering course.
  • The first course covers data description, extraction, cleaning, dataset merging and narrative summaries; the second includes formula creation/testing, image-to-spreadsheet work and VBA/macro automation; the final course broadens to prompt patterns and prompt-based applications.

Practice & assessment

The advertised applied project uses real-world datasets to build visualizations, complex formulas and data stories; examples include a sales-trend chart, dynamic budget allocations, combining customer/sales data and turning a sketch or whiteboard image into a spreadsheet. These are course claims; completed learner work was not inspected.
