Mastering The Art of Pivot Tables For Data Analysis Course

Why this Course

The main purpose of Business Intelligence (BI) in a business is to help corporate executives, business managers and other operational workers make better and more informed business decisions. Companies and organisations also use Business Intelligence to control costs, identify new business opportunities, and spot inefficient business processes. It helps them gain insight into key business drivers in order to improve performance. Therefore a good BI tool is one that is able to timeously collect key performance Indicators (KPIs) and summarising them on to a dashboard. A really good BI is one that is based on a key understanding of the key business drivers and their relation and effect on performance. But what is the real value of a good BI solution? The real value is not in the Report, It is in the Refresh or Update capability. No value is earned by having to rebuild the solution each time, requiring time and effort repeatedly. The real essence is in making the report quick, accurate, automated and real time. This is where the Pivot Table superbly answers the call.
