Excel & SQL for Analysis

Bridge the gap between spreadsheets and databases. Master complex SQL queries and advanced Excel pivot tables for robust business analysis.

Before Python, there was SQL and Excel—and they still power the world's businesses. This course teaches you to extract data from relational databases using complex SQL queries (Joins, Subqueries, Window Functions). You will then learn to analyze that data in Excel using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and Power Query. This hybrid workflow is the most common requirement for data analyst roles, allowing you to handle data storage and presentation effectively.
