For over twenty years as a technology trainer, one of the most common tasks my clients need help with relates to analysing data. They generally receive or export data from another system, such as stock management, SAP or any business management software and need to manipulate the data to produce reports or enable them to interpret and present data to colleagues, clients or management.
