Description
Every great Excel user has one thing in common: a strong command of functions. They are the tools that help you make sense of data, clean it, shape it, and turn it into something meaningful. This module is designed to strengthen that foundation so you can work with spreadsheets more confidently and with far less manual effort.You'll start by getting comfortable with the functions that appear in almost every real-world report - SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, MIN, and others that quickly summarise and interpret information. From there, the module shifts into logical thinking. Functions like IF, AND, OR, and their nested combinations help you build formulas that mimic decision-making and automate repetitive tasks.Text handling also becomes a powerful part of your toolkit. With functions such as LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, and CONCAT, you'll learn how to clean inconsistent data, extract useful information, and prepare text-heavy columns for deeper analysis. Date and time calculations then open up another layer of capability, whether you're tracking deadlines, calculating durations, managing schedules, or analysing historical data.Each concept is taught through situations you'll actually encounter at work, making the learning process clear and practical. By the end, you won't just recognise these functions - you'll know how to apply them with purpose. This module ensures you have the essential skill set needed before moving into more advanced Excel techniques.
