To some, Microsoft Excel is more than just a mind-numbing spreadsheet.

It has legions of dedicated followers (seriously, the subreddit alone boasts over 100,000 “spreadsheet warriors”), and the staunchest power users never fail to wax poetic about how Excel changed their life.

You can’t blame them; gaining proficiency in Excel can set you on the path to a fatter paycheck and help you make sense of large data sets. It may seem daunting to learn the world’s most powerful office tool, but you know what they say, people only fear what they don’t understand. For starters, you can pick up the 2019 Microsoft Excel Bootcamp Bundle — now on sale at the Mashable Shop for $39 — and begin your journey to becoming a data-crunching pro.

Here’s what’s included:

Microsoft Excel

Get an extensive primer on all things Excel with this jam-packed course. You’ll take a deep dive into all its functions, and get up to speed with the nuts and bolts of the program. From learning the most popular formulas to understanding formatting, this course will help you gain fluency in the best Excel practices.

Advanced Excel

Ready to take things to the next level? This course will elevate your intermediate skills to brand new heights. You’ll learn how to automate spreadsheets with macros and VBA, solve complex problems with advanced functions, and make sense of data using PivotTables and PowerPivot. By the time you finish, you’ll be churning advanced graphs like it’s NBD.

Pivot Table

No, a Pivot Table isn’t something in Ross Geller’s apartment. It’s a digital table that summarizes raw data into a more cohesive and comprehensible data set. As a matter of fact, it’s widely considered as Excel’s most powerful tool, and in this course, you’ll come to use it like a full-fledged spreadsheet warrior as you dabble in learning how to filter, sort, and group information to boost efficiency.

Business Analysis

To be a boss, you need to crunch numbers like a boss. This course, which is modeled after the financial and business processes of top financial institutions, will teach you how to turn buckets of data into sound business decisions and hand you tips on how to present them to relevant stakeholders. You’ll be exposed to different forecasting strategies, including Moving Averages and Regression, and you’ll learn techniques like Dynamic Ranges and Advanced Charts — functions that aren’t usually utilized by regular Excel users.

Microsoft VBA

If you gain mastery in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), you can conquer the world. Okay fine, maybe not, but it would definitely make your life a whole lot easier. In this course, you’ll get to grips with the programming language and learn how to put the tasks and operations you frequently perform on auto-pilot. You’ll also discover how to define and manage variables, set up subroutines, and create functions to automate your work life.

When bought separately, the courses in this bundle set you back $1,725, but for a limited time, you can snag the entire set for $39 — a savings of 97%.
