From the course: Excel Modeling Tips and Tricks (2021)

Getting started with Excel modeling

- Excel modeling is an important tool for any business that wants to plan for the future or manage their operations. Companies large and small can benefit from using financial models to make key decisions. And that makes Excel modeling an important skill for many employees. Yet, despite that, many people still aren't sure how to get started in building an Excel model. You may know that these models are important but you just don't know how to put the pieces together. And that is what this course is all about. I'm Dr. Michael McDonald and I'd like to help you learn how to use Excel for building business and financial models of all types. I'm a professor of finance and a frequent consultant to industry and government groups in the area of data and analytics. So if you're ready to dive in and learn how to start using Excel to build your own financial and operational models, then please join me here on LinkedIn Learning and let's get started.
