- Processes and analyzes data using mathematical, statistical, logical, text, date and search functions.
4. Logic and conditional functions
LectureThe topic explores the decision-making tools used to manage complex business scenarios and conditional calculations in excel. students master logical functions that return different results based on given criteria, logical operators that combine conditions, and nested IF structure for multilevel decisions. also analyzed are the IFERROR and IFNA tools to avoid errors in formulas, as well as aggregate functions that group filtered data based on certain condition(s).

- Processes and analyzes data using mathematical, statistical, logical, text, date and search functions.
5. Search and reference functions
LectureIn the subject, methods of linking data between different tables or sheets, indexing and building dynamic search systems are studied. students master excel's classic vertical and horizontal search tools, the more flexible and modern XLOOKUP function that overcomes their limitations, as well as the combination of INDEX and match, which provides high-performance search in large data sets and can also search to the left. additionally, choose, which selects from a list at a given index, and offset, which sets a dynamic cell range from a specified starting point, are analyzed.

6. Data validation and data control
LectureIn the subject, the methods of minimizing the errors caused by the human factor and protecting the data integrity when entering raw data into the database in the excel environment are studied. students master the mechanisms of setting special restrictions on the values to be written in the cells, building functional messages that warn the user when wrong data is entered. it also examines the implementation of control mechanisms that check the accuracy, duplication and inconsistency of data at the stage of formulating weekly and month-end reports, which are critical for business continuity.

LectureThe subject explores basic statistical analysis methods and functions used to detect structure, central tendency, and distribution patterns in large data sets. students analyze median, which finds the middle point that is insensitive to outliers, standard deviation, which measures how far data deviates from the mean, and dispersion. in the main part of the lesson, the calculation of the correlation coefficient, which determines the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two different variables, as well as the preparation of analytical reports by applying these statistical indicators to real business and research data are practically investigated.
Topic learning outcomes
- Processes and analyzes data using mathematical, statistical, logical, text, date and search functions.
9. Additional function of data analysis toolpak
LectureThe topic explores the data analysis toolpak, excel's built-in analytical module for automating complex statistical and engineering calculations. tələbələr bu təkmil əlavənin proqrama inteqrasiya edilməsi və aktivləşdirilməsi addımlarını təhlil edirlər. in the main part of the lesson, the application of regression predicting cause-and-effect relationships between variables, correlation measuring the degree of dependence of data and t-test analyzes comparing the average values of two sample groups, as well as the construction of histograms and scales that visually reflect the frequency of data distribution are practically investigated.
Topic learning outcomes
- Prepares reports and projects that support decision-making based on real data using excel's analytical tools.
10. Power query - data retrieval
LectureIn the subject, power query, an ETL tool used for automatic cleaning, structuring and merging of scattered, voluminous and differently formatted data, is studied. students analyze how to query data from local excel files, CSV files, and directly from web pages. in the main part of the lesson, filtering, ordering and grouping transformations for formatting raw data are practically explored, as well as the application of merge queries that work with database logic — linking different tables by columns and append queries by rows.
Topic learning outcomes
- Model and analyze data using pivottable, pivotchart, power query, and power pivot tools.
11. Power pivot and data model
LectureThe topic explores the power pivot add-in and the relational database architecture, which allows you to work with large databases of millions of rows, exceeding the standard spreadsheet limits of excel. students analyze how to combine tables from different sources into a single data model and establish one-to-many (1:n) relationships between them. in the main part of the lesson, the application of CALCULATE and SUMX formulas, which modify the existing filters through dax, the most powerful calculation language in business analytics, and SUMX formulas, which differ in terms of memory and calculation optimality, are practically investigated.
