Python for Analysts for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Python for Analysts for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through pivot table analysis and dashboard design without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, report automation and SQL querying in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring spreadsheet controls into line with current good practice, measured against established visualisation principles
- Review report automation and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where SQL querying is failing before it becomes a finding
