About the Course

Learn how to create data visualizations and dashboards using spreadsheets and analytics tools. This course covers some of the first steps for telling a compelling story with your data using various types of charts and graphs. You'll learn the basics of visualizing data with Excel and IBM Cognos Analytics without having to write any code. You'll start by creating simple charts in Excel such as line, pie and bar charts. You will then create more advanced visualizations with Treemaps, Scatter Charts, Histograms, Filled Map Charts, and Sparklines. Next you’ll also work with the Excel PivotChart feature as well as assemble several visualizations in an Excel dashboard. This course also teaches you how to use business intelligence (BI) tools like Cognos Analytics to create interactive dashboards. By the end of the course you will have an appreciation for the key role that data visualizations play in communicating your data analysis findings, and the ability to effectively create them. Throughout this course there will be numerous hands-on labs to help you develop practical experience for working with Excel and Cognos. There is also a final project in which you’ll create a set of data visualizations and an interactive dashboard to add to your portfolio, which you can share with peers, professional communities or prospective employers....

G​reat Course! Still some gaps between what is expected to have learned and what was actually taught as far as a couple of the charts are concerned. But overall just an absolutely WONDERFUL course.

IBM Cognos is not a common dashboard making tool in the market!! Teach us Power BI or Tableau instead.

Cognos is somewhat broken for our purposes.

Unfortunately, the course requires several updates.

IBM Cognos is not used widely, PowerBI or Tableau would have been an appropirate choice.

The final assignment is terrible, it only allows you to submit 1 file for Part 2 and specify it's for "Sales". It's really confusing where to submit the file for "Service", I combined these 2 files and submitted it together, but the reviewer didn't find it and gave me 0 points. it's not their fault, it's because the setting is unclear. The score doesn't affect anything, but it makes me look like a joker after spending an hour completing it and spending 10 minutes trying to export it as a PDF only to find out that I have to use Edge instead of Chrome.

You have to sign up for Cognos Analytics, which is not for free after 30 Days. There are so many applications, which are open source.

I got stuck activating the IBM Cognos module for module # 2. I reached out for help and no one helped me. I am very disappointed as I was looking forward to this course for my studies.

Course ok, but the fact that i do not get a certificate unless i'm forced to upload my personal data is very bad. At least told this before I started the 10 courses IBM!
