Be a Part of the Data-Driven Future of Business
Is data reshaping your profession?
While data has always been used in business, things have changed. Functions like HR, Product Management, Customer Service, etc. are embracing advanced analytics to drive better business outcomes.
Do you want to be a part of this data-driven future?
It’s hard to avoid all the social media posts, magazine articles, or news clips trumpeting how advanced analytics are permanently changing the way organizations operate – and changing the expectations of employers.
Do you think your lack of programming skills will hold you back?
While you might not thing of it this way, Excel users write code every day. Make no mistake, this is Excel programming code:
=AVERAGE(table_name[column_name])
Learning R programming is easy!
Your skills with Excel 100% map to R. If you use Excel functions like AVERAGE and IF, you can code in R. This is the R equivalent of the Excel code to the left:
mean(table_name$column_name)
Unlock advanced analytics
R programming removes many of the constraints enforced by Microsoft Excel (e.g., working with large data sets). R skills also unlock advanced analytics like machine learning.

Does what it says on the tin!
Great introduction and dispels some of the worries about moving into utilising R.
Coming from an Excel and SQL heavy environment it showed easily how that knowledge can be used as a bridge into R.
With knowledge of R being asked by more and more organisations this is a good…

This was very informative and eye opening!
I’m a daily Excel user but novice R user and I wish I had learned with this Excel-R mapping mindset from the beginning.
I’ll definitely be signing up for the full course.
