Excel business lifehacks - JTI analyst at the business seminar MASNA

The first-year student of MASNA Maria Kuzina tells about her impressions after the master class with Anastasia Svetlichnaya.

Last week, the students of the Master's program "Applied Statistics with Network Analysis" (MASNA) learned why Excel and Power BI are incredibly useful to the modern researcher. Anastasia Svetlichnaya, a graduate of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Strategy Development Specialist at JTI (Japan Tobacco International), visited us as a guest. She convinced everyone that Excel remains one of the most popular analytical tools in large business companies.

"At the seminar, Anastasia shared with us Excel's unique life skills, which significantly speed up the work. Even though I work in this program very often, I learned many new and interesting things at this seminar. It was useful to learn about new functions (xlookup), hotkeys, and array functions. They simplify a lot of actions, reducing their execution to mechanical action" (Maria Kuzina, a first-year student of MASNA).
