How to automate data extraction
Learn how to move your data and transform it automatically with this beginner-friendly course.
Data extraction is about manipulating data to draw valuable insights that can help drive better decisions in your business. In this course, you'll not only learn what data extraction is and how it can help you; you'll be given frameworks you can use to automate the process — meaning you can leave your data manipulation on auto-pilot while you focus on more important tasks.

Who is this course for? If you often find yourself taking data from one place and putting it somewhere else — like taking data from emails and adding it to a spreadsheet, for example — or you regularly need to turn data from one format into another, then you'll likely benefit from the content of this course. It should also help you identify work processes that could be automated, which will increase efficiency of your business.
