Description: If you use Excel for any type of reporting or analytics then this course is for you. There are a lot of great courses teaching R for statistical analysis and data science that can sometimes make R seem a bit too advanced for every day use. Also since there are many different ways of using R that can often add to the confusion. The reality is that R can be used to make your every day reporting analytics that you do in Excel much faster and easier without requiring any complex statistical techniques while at the same time giving you a solid foundation to expand into those areas if you so wish. This course uses the Tidyverse standards for using R which provides a single, comprehensive and easy to understand method for using R without complicating things via multiple methods. It's designed to build upon the the skills you are already familiar with in Excel to shortcut your learning journey. When I first started using R I thought that it could be a good replacement for the automation type processes I used to write in VBA. This can be quite off putting for a lot of Excel users as VBA often adds an extra layer of complexity to your work and is often only something which is done to automate a process which has already been established in Excel. One of the key benefits of Excel is that you are working directly with the data without having to go through the complexity and overhead of using a programming language. Programming languages such as VBA are actually very difficult for working with data as there isn't even any concise way of referencing common data elements such as named table columns. To carry out an operation on every row would take several lines of code which runs slow and ends up hiding your formula which actually contains your business logic. Despite all of this people use VBA anyway as once you invest the time to setup your processes you can run the exact same steps thousands of times with a click of a button. What if there were a way
