'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Become a Microsoft Excel power user with this intensive training for under $35
For an app still alive and kicking after three decades, it's amazing how much life is still left in Microsoft Excel. In fact, did you know expert Excel users specializing in finance are now getting tournaments of their own like the Financial Modeling World Cup to prove their spreadsheet mastery in battles akin to e-sporting events? As mindblowing as that idea sounds, it's 100% true.
You may not ever compete in front of a live audience showing off your Excel skills, but with the training in The 2022 Ultimate Microsoft Excel and Power BI Certification Bundle, you could be ready to sling data with those Excel heavyweights.
This 9-course collection packed with nearly 63 hours of training starts with courses like Mathematics for Data Science, a practical, hands-on session with step-by-step procedures for understanding data science like descriptive statistics, the measure of variability, inferential statistics, as well as probability and hypothesis testing.
There's also a heavy emphasis here on data visualization, and how to best represent data, so it's immediately understandable and actionable with courses like Excel Pro Tips: Data Visualization, Microsoft Excel: Data Visualization with Charts & Graphs, and Data Visualization with R.
Not to be outdone, the course Up and Running with Power BI Desktop explains how this relatively low-key app can act like shooting pure adrenaline into your Excel work, opening up new visualization and data analysis features that take Excel's usefulness to the next level.
Finally, the remaining four courses each dig into more specialized Excel and Power Bi training areas, including a close look at Alteryx, a nifty tool for professionally building workflows and analyzing data faster by using analytic building blocks that require limited coding knowledge.
Every course in The 2022 Ultimate Microsoft Excel & Power BI Certification Bundle is a $200 value, but with this collection, you can get all this Excel expert training for less than $4 per course at just $34.99.
