About This Event

Build robust models on billions of data points

Today’s environment creates a heightened emphasis on accurate and robust business forecasts that anticipate needs such as changing a market from wholesale to retail, predicting product demand, and understanding product mix and product levels by store location.

Excel was designed for creating sophisticated models, but data extracts, joins, splicing and data wrangling can be painful and risky.

Join experts from SafeGraph and AtScale for this live webinar to learn how to turn Excel into a crystal ball for your business forecasting – painlessly.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Combine your data with public or purchased data to enrich insights
  • Build sophisticated time relative analyses like period to date calculations
  • Use Excel pivot tables against billions of data points for data exploration
  • Build a model that will automatically refresh at the cell level

And then you’ll be able to:

  • Understand the product mix and product level by store location
  • Model and forecast revenue and expenses
  • Use semi-additive measure for tracking inventory levels
  • Calculate per member per month KPIs

Data Scientists, BI Analysts, Data & Analytics Leaders, Supply Chain & Logistics Professionals, Finance Analysts
