As an Excel analyst, your job is to provide an analysis of data from a project using Microsoft Excel. To accomplish this, you coordinate with other employees to gather the most useful types of data and add the data set to a spreadsheet. This typically involves coordinating with marketing and sales teams. Excel analysts often help identify, analyze, and interpret trends or patterns in complex data sets. You then help determine what factors that produced that trend and present your findings to the relevant personnel in a digestible chart. You may have other duties based on the employer. For example, if you work with a medical company, you may help identify gaps in supplies or prepare customer performance checks to look for ways of improving compliance issues.
