Introduction to R Programming for Excel Users | R Programming Tutorial

Get started with R programming and learn how to analyze data in Microsoft Excel. R programming is rapidly becoming a valuable skill for data professionals of all stripes and a must-have skill for aspiring data scientists. Adding R programming to your data analyst skillset allows you to leverage powerful data visualizations, statistical analyses, and even machine learning in your daily work.

In this presentation, we illustrate how your knowledge of performing data analyses in Microsoft Excel gives you a unique foundation for quickly learning how to apply R in your daily work.

No knowledge of R coding is required for this meetup as we will illustrate scenarios in Excel and then walk through how each Excel scenario is implemented in R.

Attendees will learn how:
• Fundamental concepts of Excel (e.g., working with tables, collections of cells, and functions) translate 100% to working with data in R.
• Excel pivot tables translate to R code.
• Creating charts in Excel is very similar to creating data visualizations in R.
• R offers visualizations not available in Excel out of the box.
An Excel spreadsheet and R code will be made available in our repository

I just watched a this video, and I have to say, it was fantastic! The explanations were clear, concise, and incredibly easy to follow. The step-by-step approach made complex concepts feel approachable, and I feel much more confident in my R skills now. Thank you for making learning R so accessible and enjoyable!

This is the best introduction to R I have ever seen - as most of us know Excel. Now with the advent of Chat GPT, coding is becoming faster and more efficient. No limits!

[EricLaermans]

From this video I learned more in 5 minutes, then in many videos together on this subject.

[superfreiheit]

Great video. Very informative and good snenario based learning.

[mursyidhb]

Amazing!!!
I have tried several times to install and use R, but I found it difficulties to start. After this presentation, I will definitely use R. so your goal is achieved. I raise my hand in front of the computer to respond to question in 1:23:00

[MrAlivallo]

I learned more in this video then any other video I watched about "R"; Excellent!

[wesleym]

This is by far the most helpful resource to helping me learn R. I use Excel for my current job and this coming semester, we will be using Stata for my master's in economics. I picked up R to start working with a language before school begins and also because of my cousin who is a Data Scientist that highly recommended working with R. Thank you so much for the video and supplemental material!

people don't seem to know but R is more powerful with respect to analytics than python. It is purely a statistical tool aimed at performing analytical experiments. People compare R to java and python but the fact is R is not for those purposes. R is purely a statistical language for dealing with data. Good presentation

[paulstokes]

Very insightful as a first time visitor to R

[rawufadamu]

This video is tremendous. The teaching approach is incredibly clear.

[kellymahoney]

If R was a company, Dave Langer would be their top salesman. I’m sold.

[pascalejacquelinepetit]

Many thanks for articulating so well how to transpose Excel to R. Great presentation.

[Ommbye]

Oh this a very wonderful video thank you so so much for it.

[harryporterdigitalservices-rm]

Wow!
This is one of the incredible presentation I have ever encountered!
I felt too close to you though very far away.
I felt like booking such like sessions with you lively!
Kudos.

[christiana]

this guy is a legend... that video is excatly what i need, because i am a heavy excel user who is starting to learn R

[Phoenixspin]

This is the first tutorial that I actually understood R even in the least bit.

[trananswers]

Like this way of teaching, from familiar stuff to new materials. Learned a lot in this video than other 5 R tutorial videos put together

[parthraval]

The video is so indulging...great method

[tegegnfentaw]

Thanks, your very nice and excited presentation .I earn a lot.

[attahfakeye]

Great tutorial. I enjoyed this a lot. I need to use R in predicting some soil properties that are difficult to analyze in the laboratory.
