Data Analysis and Dashboard Reporting for Banking and Finance Masterclass

Excel-based data analysis and dashboarding for banking teams — pivot tables, macros, dynamic validation and visual reporting that communicates clearly and fast.

The programme

Finance teams drown in spreadsheets and still struggle to answer simple questions quickly — the data exists, the reporting discipline does not. This masterclass builds that discipline on the tools teams already own. The cohort works through the fundamental concepts of data analysis and Excel dashboarding, with pivot tables — the workhorse of data reporting and analysis — at the centre, alongside reconciliation, graphing and charting, and presentation in PowerPoint. Sessions cover the principles of great dashboard design, advanced and dynamic data validations, visualisation charts, scorecards and flash reports, and the macros, formulas and shortcut keys that turn routine reporting from an afternoon’s work into minutes.
