Who this is for

You’re the person who opens the supplier invoice spreadsheet every month and has a nagging feeling something doesn’t add up — a duplicate payment, a supplier who quietly raised prices, a “promo” that never made money. You don’t have a data team. You have Excel, and not quite enough time to dig as deep as you’d like.

This course is built for procurement, finance, and operations staff in F&B, logistics, manufacturing, and retail businesses — people who are expected to “just check the numbers” but were never trained to do it fast or systematically.

The problem

Most Excel courses teach you formulas in isolation. Most AI courses teach you prompting in isolation. Neither shows you how to combine them to actually catch the specific thing costing your business money: pricing anomalies, duplicate charges, and suppliers or transactions that don’t behave like the rest.

What you’ll be able to do by the end

  • Turn a messy, unsorted supplier or transaction spreadsheet into a clean, structured table in minutes, not hours
  • Build pivot tables that surface the outliers instead of just summarising totals
  • Use AI prompts alongside your own analysis to flag anomalies you’d otherwise scroll past
  • Walk into a meeting with a specific, defensible number — “this supplier’s pricing crept up 12% over 6 months” — instead of a vague hunch

How the course is structured

100% video-led, self-paced, lifetime access. Every unit follows the same rhythm: watch a short demonstration, work through a scenario-based exercise using a realistic business dataset, then check your own answer against the model solution. No graded pressure — the goal is that you can actually do this on your own data afterward.

Course outline

  1. Getting Your Data Analysis-Ready — cleaning messy exports, Format as Table, and why structure matters before you analyse anything
  2. Pivot Tables for Real Decisions — building pivot tables that answer “where’s the anomaly,” not just “what’s the total”
  3. Combining Functions to Spot What’s Hiding — layering lookup, conditional, and aggregation functions to surface what a single formula would miss
  4. Finding Supplier Pricing Anomalies — a full walkthrough on a supplier-spend dataset: detecting price creep and inconsistent charges
  5. Reading the Story in the Numbers — turning your findings into a short, decision-ready summary a manager can act on
  6. Working AI Into Your Analysis — practical AI prompts that complement (not replace) your own review, and where to stay sceptical of AI output

  • 15 scenario-based exercises using realistic business datasets
