MS Excel is one of the most popular and versatile tools for business analytics. The main reasons for the popularity of MS Excel include ease of use, a wide range of tools and functions for processing, analysing and visualising data, ease of working with large amounts of data, a wide range of reporting options, integration with other software tools, etc.
All of this makes MS Excel an essential tool for business analysts, helping them to solve various data analysis tasks and make informed decisions based on the analysis.
In order to get acquainted with practical cases of using MS Excel tools in the work of a business analyst, 1st and 2nd year students of the Economic Cybernetics and Business Analytics programme took part in the online workshop “Working with Excel: 10 ways to save time and simplify your working day”, which took place on 9 April 2024.
