About this course

This beginner course teaches data analysis entirely through spreadsheets and AI assistants, with zero code. You will move a messy dataset through a full pipeline, ask a question, clean the data, build pivot tables and charts, and use ChatGPT or Claude to interpret results and draft a summary. By the end you can answer real business questions and present them in a one-page brief or dashboard.
