    Learning Resources

    Hi, can anyone recommend any websites for practice worksheets that may mimic what I am likely to see in an excel aptitude test for a data analysis job.
    Thanks

    Hi, welcome to the forum, I don't want to be blunt but aptitude starts with using your imagination and fantasy.
    Maybe you've already wondered throught the internet looking for similra teste but if you Google using the right terms you will probably find many sites and videos and more that that.
    You should lookt at sites where they use 365 too since 365 has many more functions as the pre-2021 versions of Office (read Excel)
    My Tarining Hub (Australian site) is great but there many, many more.
    Hope I have pintend you in hopelfully the right direccion

    Re: Learning Resources

    Well it depends on the version of excel. You want to be familiar with key functions and parts of excel. This is just off the top of my head and i will probably have missed something. I would google all of the below if you are not familiar with how they work. You need the tools then as mentioned above its your imagination as to how to use them. the role of a data analyst varies hugely between organisations. if you are familar with them, then you should be in a good position when a test is thrown at you

    Manipulating data with functions
    Match
    Index
    Left
    Right
    mid
    search
    countif(s)
    Sumif(s)
    averageif
    sumproduct
    search
    vlookup
    if
    if excel 365 filter and unique

    Pivot tables
    Power pivot if appropriate
    Getting external data
    sorting
    filtering

    Statistical techniques
    Standard deviation
    regression
    etc

    Charting
    making the results look nice!

    Possibly VBA if you have to build a solutions
