Excel - Creating High Impact Business Reports

Overview

No matter what business you are in, a report is a critical tool in your communication armory.

As with any communication tool, presentation is everything. Get it right and it offers the reader (typically a CEO, shareholder or Project Manager) a valuable insight into the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) upon which a business or project is measured.

Get it wrong and you'll end up with something that nobody understands and nobody wants to read.

Why Should You Attend

The training will focus on 4 areas - Pivot tables, charts/graphs, the Power View report add-on and how to present geographic information.

In the pivot tables section, you'll learn how to create a basic pivot table, display numbers as a percentage (no formulas, arithmetic or programming required!), and make the pivot table eye-catching appealing to read and then group the data (by month or numeric range).

In the visual communication (charts/graphs) section, you'll learn how to enhance and customize a standard chart ("from drab to fab") as well as how to create infographic-style charts using nothing but Excel.

With Excel's Power View add-on (2013 and 2016 only) you'll learn how to create visual reports containing interactive charts, graphs, maps, and other visuals that bring your data to life.

The final part of the training will focus on Excel's Power Map tool (2013 and 2016 only) which lets you plot geographic (country, region, state etc) data on an interactive 3-D globe or custom map.
