Case Study: Pivot Tables and Charts
Pivot Tables in Microsoft Excel is a powerful features that enables you to get valuable information from a huge list of data.
Between 2000-2004 when the Internet was new and there was no such thing as online training we did a LOT of beginners training – Absolute Beginners – and taught people how to use Windows, file management, editing text and emailing and Internet and we wanted to know when people prefer to do these courses.
We had the information we knew – that Absolute Beginners’ and Excel were the most popular courses and that we could offer these courses in the morning, just after lunch or in the evening. You’ll be able to use our exact data in a Pivot table to see when students like to come to a training centre to do a course – we used this information to schedule our courses up to 6 months in advance!
Why Online Excel Training Courses?
It’s a great thing that we create our own Excel training courses and exercise files because what we discovered was that students prefer to learn when they want and at their own pace! Even back then we knew that there had to be a better way than scheduling rooms, courses and trainers around holidays, sick days and long weekends.
