From Excel data to conclusions with AI
An Excel spreadsheet or a dashboard does not yet tell you what the numbers actually mean. The value appears once you can find what matters in the data, read the results correctly, and draw conclusions from them.
On this hands-on training you will learn to use ChatGPT or Claude alongside Excel, so you get from data to answers of substance faster. AI helps you find the right questions, pick suitable techniques, notice trends and outliers, and make sense of what comes back.

Personalised and immediately applicable
The greatest strength of the training was personalisation. Every lesson built on our company's real situations and processes, not textbook examples. The balance of theory and practice and the concrete tips helped us quickly adopt new working methods. The training gave us tools that can be applied immediately, not knowledge that ends up in a drawer.

Encouraging and practical
We gained the courage to experiment and to see how to make our work easier. A start has been made and I am very grateful for it. I especially liked the practical examples. At the same time, I understand that consolidating skills and deepening knowledge requires a lot more practice.
