Excel’s ability to integrate and visualise data is the focus of this day long course, using the latest features in Excel. Work through multiple exercises to learn to master the tools of data modelling, analysis and building visuals for effective Dashboards.

Participants will create a data model with a range of data sources using Power Pivot and use Get and Transform to connect and manipulate a range of data sources including cloud databases, websites and Facebook. Learn how to fully utilise Excel to create interactive Dashboards, Charting tools and Visualisation techniques.

We complete the course by working through a Case Study pulling all the aspects we teach on the day together.

Business Case Study – We start with raw sales data and we model the data using PowerPivot, creating relationships and the necessary calculations to build our interactive Dashboard for assessing Sales performance and profitability across various cities. Read our full course outline here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Excel Course is right for me?

Everyone uses Excel differently but as previous Excel Consultants we are aware of the core concepts relevant to all workplaces. Our Excel Specialist courses focus on different aspects of Excel and how its is used across different roles. The Financial Modelling course introduces building models in excel in line with best practice. Analysis and Dashboards concentrates on building more advanced visuals and introducing Power Query. For those seeking to automate tasks in Excel, our VBA course will be the best fit.

Which courses are available if I am working from home?

Currently all of our Public Courses are available to be delivered remotely. Book any course as normal and you will receive login details and instructions the evening before your course.

What is Remote Training?

Remote training at Nexacu, means our team of experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. Students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in discussion and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.

How may students are typically in a Excel Specialist Training Course?

While this varies from session to session, we typically have 4 - 6 students in our Excel Specialist classes. We cap our classes at 10 students. This is to ensure the quality of training remains high and that all students can ask questions and engage in discussion.

I previously attended a course with Excel Consulting, will the training be similar?

Yes, we rebranded from Excel Consulting in October 2019. The business quickly outgrew its original name. Our new brand Nexacu, better reflects our direction, continued innovation and commitment to deliver next level learning. We have always refined and continue to update our courses but retain our excellent trainers and deliver the same high quality content.

Where is the training held?

We are a national training company with office in 7 cities around Australia; Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Parramatta and Canberra. We also deliver Excel training in the workplace nationwide.
