The more complex your data analysis becomes, the more you will need to focus on well-defined segments of data. To do that, you need to refine the data from the moment you bring it into Microsoft® Excel®. Excel provides rich features that enable you to select just the data you want, and bring it into Excel in the format you need. Learning the concepts behind getting and transforming data in this way will take your data analysis skills to the next level.
