About This Course

About This Excel Dynamic Functions Course

Most Excel users still rely on VLOOKUP, manual filtering and copy-paste summaries that break whenever the data changes. This 1-day Excel dynamic functions course teaches the modern analytical functions in Microsoft 365 Excel so you can extract patterns and insights from data with formulas that update themselves.

You will work with dynamic arrays and spill behaviour, using FILTER, SORT, SORTBY and UNIQUE to build outputs that refresh automatically as the source data changes. You will then use XLOOKUP and XMATCH to retrieve and cross-reference data across multiple sources more reliably than VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH, and apply SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIFS, LET, LAMBDA, GROUPBY and PIVOTBY to build dynamic summary views.

The emphasis is on interpretation, not just mechanics. Through project-based scenarios on real business datasets, you will choose the right function for each analytical question, validate the result and present the insight clearly.

Designed for beginner to intermediate learners who work with data and want to move beyond basic formulas — administrators, business analysts, finance and operations professionals, reporting analysts and project managers.

Stop rebuilding reports by hand — build Excel formulas that update themselves and turn raw data into answers.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What will I learn in this Excel course? ▾
You will learn the modern Microsoft 365 Excel functions for analysing data: XLOOKUP and XMATCH for lookups; FILTER, SORT, SORTBY and UNIQUE for dynamic arrays; and LET, LAMBDA, GROUPBY and PIVOTBY for advanced analysis and summaries — applied to real business datasets.
What are the course fees and funding options? ▾
The full course fee is S$750 before GST. As an SSG-approved (CASL) course, eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs receive 50% SSG funding, or up to 70% for Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above and SME-sponsored learners — bringing the payable amount to as low as S$292.50 including GST. SkillsFuture Credit and SFEC can be used to offset the balance, subject to eligibility.
Is this a WSQ course? ▾
No. Dynamic Functions & Tools in Microsoft Excel is an SSG-approved non-WSQ course under the CASL scheme. It is eligible for the same SSG course fee funding as WSQ courses, and you receive a Certificate of Completion after attending the course and passing the assessments.
Which version of Excel do I need? ▾
Microsoft 365 Excel. Dynamic array functions such as FILTER, XLOOKUP, LET and LAMBDA are also in Excel 2021 and later, while GROUPBY and PIVOTBY are available only in current Microsoft 365 versions. Training computers are provided for the course.
What level of Excel do I need before attending? ▾
The course is for beginner to intermediate users. You should be comfortable entering data and writing simple formulas such as SUM and IF. No prior knowledge of lookup or array functions is needed.
How long is the course and how is it assessed? ▾
It is a 1-day, 8-hour instructor-led course: 7 hours of training and 1 hour of assessment. Assessment consists of a 30-minute written short-answer test and a 30-minute practical performance assessment in Excel.
Why learn XLOOKUP instead of VLOOKUP? ▾
XLOOKUP looks up in any direction, returns exact matches by default, handles missing values without IFERROR and does not break when columns are inserted. Combined with dynamic arrays, it lets you build reports that stay accurate as your data changes.
Can I use SkillsFuture Credit for this course? ▾
Yes. Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above can use their SkillsFuture Credit to offset the course fee balance after SSG funding. Companies can also use SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC), subject to eligibility.
