Anaconda Certified: Data Analysis with Python in Excel

Believe it or not, Microsoft Excel and Python have many things in common. For example, working with data tables is fundamental in both technologies when your goal is to produce new insights and positively impact the business.

This 5-day series of live courses will leverage your Excel knowledge to jumpstart your Python skills using pandas, one of the most popular Python packages for working with data. The pandas library provides Python with rich data table functionality. Not surprisingly, skills with pandas are fundamental for analyzing data with Python.

Enhance your data analysis, boost your career, and unlock new opportunities with a certification from Anaconda. You’ll learn how to construct tables, for example, and perform advanced analytics in Excel with embedded Python. Successfully complete an exam with a grade of 70% or more to earn the Data Analysis with Python in Excel certification (validity: 1 year).

By the end of this hands-on course, you’ll understand:

• What are Python objects, and how they relate to Microsoft Excel.
• How pandas DataFrame and Series objects are fundamental to data analysis using Python.
• How Python provides a repeatable process for crafting the best data tables for your analyses.

And you’ll be able to:

• Construct Python tables from Excel data.
• Handle data using Python code.
• Analyze and profile data for advanced analytics (e.g., cluster analysis).

This training is for you because…

• You’re an Excel-based data analyst.
• You work with tables of data in Excel to produce insights.
• You want to move beyond the limitations of Excel to have more impact.
