Hello,
Today marks the official beginning of Data & AI 2026.
And we are starting where real data work begins — Microsoft Excel for Data Analysis.
Many people underestimate Excel.
But the truth is:Excel is the foundation of analytical thinking. It teaches structure. It teaches logic. It teaches how data behaves.
Before SQL.Before Python.Before Power BI.Before AI.
Today we begin with Excel — not as a basic spreadsheet tool, but as a professional data analysis engine.
📌 What we’ll cover in Excel:
Data cleaning & preparation
Sorting, filtering & structured tables
Formulas for analysis (IF, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, etc.)
Pivot Tables & dashboards
Data validation
Basic visualization for insights
This is just the beginning.
