Statistics and Data Analysis with Excel: Essentials
Data drives decisions in every field — business, health, science, sports, and beyond. This course gives you the statistical tools to make sense of data, spot patterns, and present findings that inform real-world decisions.
You'll work through both branches of statistics in a structured, practical sequence. Descriptive statistics help you summarise and describe data — covering measures of centredness like mean, median, and mode, and measures of spread including variance, standard deviation, and boxplots. You'll then move to inferential statistics, where you'll use the normal distribution, the Central Limit Theorem, and hypothesis testing to draw conclusions about whole populations from sample data.
Everything is applied in Microsoft Excel, so you're not just learning theory — you're building working spreadsheet models. Each module includes downloadable workbooks, toolbox summary references, and both practice and graded assignments to reinforce your skills step by step.
The course closes with a final assignment that brings all four modules together, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your full range of statistical and analytical skills in a single integrated Excel model.
Who this is for: Students, business professionals, and anyone who works with data and wants to understand it more rigorously. No prior statistics or Excel expertise is required.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I think the format is excellent for someone who is not as strong at online learning. Comprehension is reinforced through periodic questions throughout the videos which helped me to retain my focus. Following along in real-time with the downloadable Excel sheets made the process feel much more interactive and focused on direct skill acquisition rather than merely reading comprehension.

Enjoyed! Really beginner friendly. Short, concise, precise! Although the course touches the essesntials of descriptive statistics, it gives you confidence to execute descriptive statistics related real-life tasks with Excel. The excel part brings the theoretical ideas into life.
