The continuously expanding Data Analysis world may be daunting at first to grasp, still, being data literate is an essential skill in the modern world, overloaded with data sources and data requests. A century ago Vilfredo Pareto taught us (using data analysis btw) that there is no need to know everything about everything in order to be useful, instead “80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes”. Based on this principle we prepared a basic kit of theoretical knowledge and practical techniques which will teach you the right approach in solving data analysis needs of your organisation, with minimal effort, using the ever present spreadsheets applications.
