Comprehensive Course Content:

Phase 1: Advanced Excel for MIS Reporting and Automation 

1. Date and Time Functions

Handling Dates and Times:

• Date functions: TODAY, NOW, YEAR, MONTH, DAY.

• Time functions: TIME, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND.

• Date arithmetic (e.g., calculating age, days between dates).

Workdays & Holidays:

•   Using WORKDAY, NETWORKDAYS, EDATE to calculate working days or project deadlines.

2. Advanced Formulas and Functions

Lookup Functions:

• VLOOKUP (Vertical lookup) and HLOOKUP (Horizontal lookup).

• INDEX and MATCH combination for more powerful lookups.

• XLOOKUP (Excel 365): A more flexible replacement for VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP.

Conditional Formulas:

• IF, AND, OR, IFERROR, and IFS for complex conditional logic.

• Using COUNTIF, SUMIF, and AVERAGEIF for summarizing data based on conditions.

Text Functions:

• Manipulate and clean text data using CONCATENATE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN and TRIM.

• UPPER, LOWER and PROPER functions are used to changes the case of text.

• FIND and SEARCH functions are used to locates the position of a substring in a text string.

• CONCAT and TEXTJOIN functions are used to combines multiple text strings into one.

• SUBSTITUTE and REPLACE functions are used to replace text within a string.

3. Nested Formula

Structure of a Nested Formula:

• A nested formula is created when you place a function inside the parentheses of another function.

•   For example, the following formula uses the IF function nested inside the SUM function: =SUM (IF (A1:A10>50, 1, 0))

Here: IF (A1:A10>50, 1, 0) is the nested formula. It evaluates whether each cell in the range A1:A10 is greater than 50, and returns 1 for true and 0 for false.

 Pivot Tables:

•   Introduction to Pivot Tables for summarizing large datasets.
