Are you a financial analyst, management controller, planning manager, project manager, HR manager, or even a consultant who wants to create your own dashboards with a modern tool that will let you say goodbye to Excel and PowerPoint?

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a dynamic dashboard to make the most of your data. 

  • Detect and clean up errors in your data.

And finally, to consolidate everything you learn on this course, I’ll share some links to additional Microsoft resources, illustrations, and tips and tricks to keep you inspired.
