PivotTable is the single most powerful tool in Excel for financial reporting, budgeting and data analysis. This can save you hours and deliver impressive results.

Testimonials

You can learn any Excel formulae or function online but setting aside time to focus on an aspect of Excel with Jose is a much better use of time! Her experience, knowledge base, pace of class, and ability to gauge and engage all course participants is no small feat and she does it with such ease. Having attended Jose's Pivot Tables, Data analysis Skills and Data Transformation courses, I'd happily attend any of Jose's tutorials again. As a full-time working mum, I feel very privileged to have attended her half-day Saturday courses. and would gladly enrol in any course that she runs as there are so many nuggets of wisdom and unexplored functions and formulas that make Excel more accessible. I feel so much better equipped with skills and shortcuts that make my work more efficient. Jose makes Excel interesting, accessible, way less challenging and full of un-tapped opportunities. There are so many transferrable Excel skills that Jose can teach that can be applied to other functions such as Power BI, reporting and Data analysis. Ming, November 2022
