Overview:

Predictive Analytics and AI in Excel is designed to revolutionize your approach to data analysis by integrating advanced augmented analytics tools directly into your familiar spreadsheet environment. This webinar delves into the transformative power of AI within Excel, illustrating how features like the Analyze Data tool, XLMiner add-in, and optical character recognition can significantly enhance your ability to manage and interpret complex data sets. You'll explore how to overcome the limitations of traditional Excel, such as handling large, unstructured, or real-time data, by leveraging AI and machine learning technologies.

Participants will gain hands-on experience in using these powerful tools to generate AI-driven insights, build predictive models, and perform sentiment analysis. You'll learn how to convert image-based data into editable formats, apply Azure Machine Learning for text data evaluation, and understand the critical role of data schema for AI effectiveness. By the end of this webinar, you'll be equipped to make more informed business decisions, enhance your strategies, and stay ahead in a competitive market by fully utilizing the AI-enhanced capabilities of Excel.

Why you should Attend:

In an increasingly data-driven world, failing to leverage the full potential of tools like Excel can put your business at a severe disadvantage. Traditional Excel skills are no longer enough to keep up with the complexity and volume of today's data.
