Programme Objective
 

Excel has been the main working tool for many accounting and financial professionals. However occasionally it falls short, and that’s where R can kick in: Excel does not handle big data sets well. Excel does not offer robust statistical functionality. 
 
R like Python is a programming language designed for processing, analysing and visualizing data. In recent years, R has become popular in business. 

The focus of this course is on understanding and applying simple data manipulations from an Excel application perspective: importing, manipulating, transforming, combining and summarising data for business analysis and reporting.
