Excel · Numbers Under Control

The spreadsheet is for the next person.
Even when that person is you.

“Numbers Under Control” turns spreadsheet operators into confident Excel users: clean structures, formulas that survive copying, XLOOKUP instead of counting columns, pivots instead of formula stacks — practiced not on a textbook but live in Excel on a real practice file whose solutions the AI coach knows and checks.

For the Excel majority, not the Excel gods

Most people in companies operate Excel — few work with it confidently. That gap is exactly where this course starts: the placement interview assesses what you actually practice (not what you know), even detects the language of your Excel installation — and skips what you already master. Practice is hands-on: you perform every step for real in Excel, on a bundled practice file whose numbers the AI coach knows — he checks your results, not your self-assessment.

  • Placement detects lived practice — and your Excel language (English or German function names)
  • Every exercise truly in Excel: clean up, build, verify — no thought experiments
  • AI blocks in every module: have formulas built, hunt errors, use Copilot — incl. confidentiality rules
  • Every module ends with a practice case, assessed against fixed criteria
  • Transfer assignments bring every technique into your real files
  • HR sees verified competences — never your contents

Five modules — from the clean table to the team file

The placement recognizes experience: whoever lives VLOOKUP does not start at the basics — whoever stacks sums learns pivots.

Module 1

Data & Structure

The foundation — almost every expensive Excel mistake starts here.

  • Recognize and fix the structural deadly sins
  • Smart tables: lists that grow along
  • Number formats, healing text-numbers, sorting & filtering
Module 2

Formula Craft

Formulas that stay right when copied.

  • References: the $ sign as a steering tool
  • IF & IFS readable instead of nested
  • Splitting text, calculating with dates, real rounding
Module 3

Looking up & Connecting

No more carrying values across by hand.

  • XLOOKUP robust instead of counting columns
  • SUMIF & COUNTIF across whole lists
  • Connecting sheets, catching errors honestly
Module 4

Analyzing & Presenting

From list to answer in seconds.

  • Pivot tables: asking questions instead of stacking formulas
  • Month grouping, shares, slicers
  • Charts with one message — and a sentence title
Module 5

Quality & Collaboration

Files that survive a team.

  • Finding errors systematically instead of guessing
  • Controlling input, protecting formulas
  • One truth instead of version copies by mail
AI track

Excel × AI

One AI block in every module — switchable per company.

  • Have formulas built & explained — with a verification duty
  • Copilot analyses and AI as review colleague
  • Confidentiality ground rules from the start

Who it is for

For everyone who has to work with Excel without being an Excel person: back office and billing, sales and team leads, data maintenance and reporting. Prerequisites: opening spreadsheets and filling cells is enough — the placement picks every person up where they stand, and the pace adapts.
