What is the Advanced Excel Training course?
Advanced Excel Training is a 15-hour instructor-led course for professionals who already use spreadsheets and want faster, more reliable reporting. Participants practise formulas, lookups, data cleaning, PivotTables, charts, dashboards, what-if analysis and Power Query, then combine those skills in an end-to-end MIS reporting project. It is available as a public live-online cohort or a private corporate programme.

The Excel problems this course tackles
Each topic is connected to work a reporting professional actually has to complete.
“The same cleanup every month”
Exports arrive with inconsistent columns, dates and labels.
What you practise
Build documented Power Query transformations that can be refreshed.
“Lookups fail silently”
A changed key or range returns incomplete reporting.
What you practise
Use appropriate lookup patterns, error handling and reconciliation checks.
“Dashboards do not guide decisions”
Too many visuals obscure the actual KPI movement.
What you practise
Select measures and charts around the audience’s decision.
“MIS packs are rebuilt by hand”
Formatting and calculations are repeated across sheets.
What you practise
Combine tables, formulas, pivots and reusable layouts into one reporting workflow.
What participants will be able to do
Practise the skills below through course exercises, then check the results and explain how you would apply them to your work.
Write dependable business formulas
Combine conditional, aggregation, text, date and error-handling functions for recurring reports.
Match data across sources
Use XLOOKUP or compatible alternatives, INDEX-MATCH and reconciliation checks appropriately.
Analyse with PivotTables
Group, filter, calculate and explore business data with PivotTables, slicers and PivotCharts.
Build readable dashboards
Choose KPIs and visuals, structure a management view and test whether it answers the intended question.
Create refreshable data preparation
Import, clean, reshape and combine files with Power Query instead of repeating manual edits.
Deliver an end-to-end MIS workbook
Turn a raw dataset into a checked, documented and presentation-ready report.
Applied to each team’s real work

Exercises and practical outputs
Short demonstrations are followed immediately by work in the spreadsheet.
How every module runs
See the pattern
The trainer demonstrates a technique against a realistic reporting problem.
Build it
Participants reproduce the workflow on a practice dataset.
Break and check it
The group tests missing values, changed ranges and common error cases.
Apply it
Participants combine the technique into a report they can explain and maintain.
Exercises use representative, non-sensitive examples. Outputs are produced during the workshop for practice and review; anything participants keep is their own working material.
A correct-looking report can still be wrong
Every course treats data quality, calculation review and access control as part of the analytical workflow—not as an optional final check.
Check the current product documentation and your organisation’s data-handling rules before applying these workflows.
Use approved data
Use public, synthetic, sanitised or organisation-approved datasets. Remove personal and confidential fields before using external AI services.
Trace every number
Reconcile row counts, totals, filters, joins and time periods against the source before a report supports a decision.
Review generated logic
Read formulas, DAX, SQL, calculated fields and Python generated with AI. Test boundary cases instead of trusting fluent output.
Publish with controls
Confirm permissions, refresh ownership, data classification and reviewer responsibility before sharing a workbook or dashboard.
How the course is tailored and delivered
Private programmes are adapted around the reports, datasets, tool versions and decisions participants handle at work. Public cohorts use neutral practice data so people from different organisations can work safely.
From first conversation to evaluation
Map the work
Identify participant roles, current skill level, recurring reports and the decisions the training should support.
Confirm the environment
Check software versions, licences, database access, security rules and whether client data may be used in exercises.
Shape the labs
Choose representative datasets and outputs, then set the depth of formulas, modelling, visualisation or code.
Practise and review
Participants build during the session, explain their choices and use a review checklist before presenting the result.

Common questions before planning this course
Answers about the published course. The written proposal records any agreed customisation, delivery details and commercials.
Are public cohorts available for Advanced Excel Training?
Public cohorts are offered live online when dates are published. Submit an enquiry for the next available schedule. A date is not reserved until Technovids confirms the cohort in writing.
What is included for a public-cohort learner?
The Technovids LMS includes session notes, assignments, lab instructions and recordings for three months after the cohort. Completion requirements and the certificate process are explained at the start.
Is a completion certificate provided?
Yes. Learners who meet the stated completion requirements receive a Technovids completion certificate with a unique certificate ID that can be verified on the Technovids website. It is not a vendor certification.
Who provides the laptop, software and licences?
Participants use their own suitable laptop. The required software version, accounts and licences are confirmed before delivery. For private programmes, a sandbox or virtual machine can be scoped separately when needed.
Can the course be delivered for a corporate team?
Yes. The private version can use your approved datasets, reporting standards and business scenarios. Delivery may be live online or onsite, with scope and commercials confirmed in the proposal.
Which Excel version is needed?
The version is confirmed before delivery. Most core topics work across supported desktop editions, while some functions differ. For example, Microsoft documents that XLOOKUP is not available in Excel 2016 or Excel 2019, so compatible alternatives are taught where needed.
Does the course include VBA?
VBA is not part of the standard agenda. It can be scoped as an extension for a private corporate programme if macros are central to the team’s work.
