Four exercises on a weekly service log: find the trend and the odd week, make one clear chart, and write the update — twice, for two different readers.
Which is honest, and also useless. They wanted a sentence, and now the sheet is in a thread where three people will each read a different number out of it.
You do not need to become an analyst. You need to find the one thing that changed, be sure it is real, and say it plainly.
This track is that, four times, on data small enough to check by eye.
Copilot in Excel
Use prompts to focus an Excel analysis, inspect the resulting output, and verify observations before communicating them. Two exercises: find patterns in a weekly service log, then create a simple visual for a verified finding.
ChatGPT
Turn a small set of verified findings into a concise audience-appropriate update, then inspect and improve the draft. Two exercises: draft a findings update from checked data, then tailor findings for a busy manager.
Small enough to check by hand
The datasets are a few dozen rows on purpose. You can verify every answer the AI gives you — which is how you learn when to trust it on data you cannot check.
You leave with a file, not notes
This track ends each tool with something you export and keep — a real document, deck or sheet. Every step lists what a good one contains, so you can tell whether the work is actually good, not just finished.
Grounded in the tool's own docs
Each lesson ends with the vendor's own documentation pages that the exercise relies on. Nothing here is invented, and when a tool changes you can see exactly what to re-check.
Yes, completely. Create an account, start the track and work through it. There is no card, no trial and no upsell at the end.
You need an account with each of the two tools. Every exercise is written against the tool's own published documentation, and each lesson links the exact pages it relies on — check there for what your plan includes, since the vendors change their tiers regularly.
About 65 minutes across four exercises — roughly 15, 15, 20 and 15 minutes.
No — this pathway is self-paced and nothing is collected. Both Excel exercises end with a file you export and keep, and the exercise spells out what a good one contains, so the judgement is yours to make.
Yes. Complete all four exercises and your certificate of completion is issued automatically, with your name and the track title, and appears under My certificates on your account. It is also emailed to you.
