Let me give you a brief overview of the course
Section 1 - Introduction
In this section we will learn about the course structure
Section 2 - Basics of Forecasting
In this section, we will discuss about the basic of forecasting and we will also learn the easiest way to create simple linear regression model in Excel
Section 3 - Getting Data Ready for Regression Model
In this section you will learn what actions you need to take a step by step to get the data and then prepare it for the analysis these steps are very important.
We start with understanding the importance of business knowledge then we will see how to do data exploration. We learn how to do uni-variate analysis and bi-variate analysis then we cover topics like outlier treatment and missing value imputation.
Section 4 - Forecasting using Regression Model
This section starts with simple linear regression and then covers multiple linear regression.We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too mathematical about it so that you understand where the concept is coming from and how it is important. But even if you don't understand it, it will be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught in the practical lectures.
We also look at how to quantify models accuracy, what is the meaning of F statistic, how categorical variables in the independent variables data set are interpreted in the results.
Section 5 - Handling Special events like Holiday sales
In this section we will learn how to incorporate effects of Day of Week Effect, Month Effect or any special event such Holidays, pay day etc.
Section 6 - Identifying Seasonality & Trend for Forecasting
In this section we will learn about trends and seasonality and how to use the Solver to develop an additive or multiplicative model to estimate trends and seasonality. We will also learn how to use moving averages to eliminate seasonality to easily see trends in sales.
Section 7 - Market Basket Analysis and Lift
In this section we will learn about market basket analysis and learn how to calculate lift to derive a store layout that maximizes sales from complementary products.
Section 8 - Recency, frequency, and monetary value analysis
In this section we will learn techniques to perform RFM (Recency, frequency, and monetary value) analysis to help you maximize profit from promotional mail campaigns.
Section 9 - Recency, frequency, and monetary value analysis
In this section we will learn price bundling techniques and learn how to increase revenue/profit of your firm by implementing revenue / profit maximizing price point using Excel solver Add-in
Section 10 - Recency, frequency, and monetary value analysis
In this section, we will discuss about the basic of concepts of Customer Lifetime value and learn how to create excel model to find lifetime customer value and perform sensitivity analysis to capture variations in lifetime value under different scenarios.
Section 11 - Excel crash course
If you're new to Excel, or you've played around with it but want to get more comfortable with Excel's advanced features required for this course. Either way, this section will be great for you to revise your rusty excel skills .

So far So good, I have just completed sections One and Two and the content is just wow and to the point. easily understood and simple to follow the statistical calculation on forecasting. This is Course is Highly recommended to those who wanna learn Analytics.
I am new to this field and wanted to understand the concepts behind analytics and retail business management and this is the perfect course for me to start with. It's easier to follow through and also to understand the concepts, theory and practice practicality through the content provided. Thank you very much for this amazing course!
I was looking for course which could cover good use of solver function in excel. This course gives lots of examples how solver can be used in pricing and decision making. Interesting course. All the concepts are well explained and covered with excel as well. However, if there would have been a case study for students to solve where all the learnings can be applied it would be better as it would have helped students to verify & practice the understanding of concepts.
It was a little tricky but the instructors gave a well detailed explanations. Especially the linear model and trend lines part. Awesome.
very very beneficial course for me. i learnt very knowledge about excel through this course and it will help me in my future. thank you
The information is beyond what I expected. However, I found troubles in comprehending your accent and the subtitles are not correct also. With this, I fear I wont be able to catch up when we come to more complicated lessons. Any recommendations anyone?
it is a very good course for even those who are begginers. After taking this course regular practice make them professional
Nicely arranged lectures to explain the retail analytics basics. Hands-on excel examples are perfect.
Some video lectures seemed to be missing? I can see the practice files but there's no lecture videos that explain on those. Some concepts well explained, but some aren't enough
It was a great learning experience and learnt various ways of doing data analysis from the retail business point of view. Only one small suggestion is that if there would have been quizzes and more exercises for practicing the learnt content, it would have enhanced the learning substantially. All in all, the course provided great insights into doing data analytics.
This is great course. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is starting with retail analytics. systematic and step by step explanation. Great job on Content and subject knowledge by Trainer.
currently i do BBA in AIUB & my major is HRM& Marketing i learn lots of new think About Marketing Analysis
The teaching technique is surely great. The teaching pattern made the subject easy and simple to understand with theory first and then the live examples.
Yes it's really exciting, though I worked in marketing company and I familiar with MS Excel, PowerPoint but it's good to reversion in better way.
its easy to understand and interesting. A document tutorial can be given for keeping formulas and steps in mind
