Why Corporate Professionals Take This
Most corporate professionals waste 20% to 40% of their work week battling spreadsheet friction. Here is what changes after 48 hours.
Wasting hours manually combining, cleaning, and copy-pasting CSVs and ERP exports.
One-click automated data refresh using Power Query pipelines with zero manual effort.
Fragile, slow workbooks bogged down by nested IF statements and broken #N/A VLOOKUPs.
Modern, lightning-fast dynamic array formulas (XLOOKUP, FILTER, UNIQUE, LET, LAMBDA).
Messy, unreadable sheets that trigger anxiety during executive leadership presentations.
Sleek, executive-ready KPI dashboards with interactive slicers and clear visual hierarchy.
Re-building monthly reports from scratch every single reporting cycle.
Automated, reusable reporting templates that update instantaneously when new data arrives.
The 2-Day Intensive Curriculum
Every minute of this program is anchored to real corporate datasets, messy ERP exports, and executive reporting requirements.
Modern Formula Architecture & Automated Data Pipelines
Transform how you interact with data in Excel. Replace legacy brittle practices with modern dynamic formulas, automated data ingestion, and rigorous error-proofing.
The Modern Excel Mental Model: Structural Discipline
Why most spreadsheets break and how enterprise data systems are architected. Moving from loose cell ranges to Excel Tables, structured references, data validation rules, and naming conventions.
- •Grid thinking vs. relational table thinking
- •Structured table references and automatic formula expansion
- •Data hygiene: eliminating invisible trailing spaces, date formatting pitfalls, and type mismatches
- •Building error traps and automated input validation
Modern Lookup & Dynamic Array Mastery
Retire VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH forever. Master XLOOKUP across single and multi-criteria scenarios, plus modern dynamic arrays that spill calculations automatically.
- •XLOOKUP: exact match, wildcard lookup, reverse search, and multi-column returns
- •Dynamic array engines: FILTER, UNIQUE, SORT, SORTBY, and CHOOSECOLS
- •Two-dimensional matrix lookups without helper columns
- •Handling missing records gracefully without nesting IFERROR everywhere
Streamlining Complex Business Logic with LET & LAMBDA
Stop writing unreadable 4-line formula monsters. Learn how to define readable variables inside formulas using LET, and package custom business formulas with LAMBDA.
- •Using LET to store intermediate calculations and speed up workbook calculation times by 5x
- •Building reusable custom corporate functions using LAMBDA without VBA or macros
- •Modern conditional logic: SWITCH, IFS, and Boolean array multiplication
- •Automated text parsing and cleanup formulas (TEXTSPLIT, TEXTBEFORE, TEXTAFTER)
Zero-Effort Data Prep: Power Query for Everyday Users
Say goodbye to manual copy-pasting. Learn Power Query basics to clean, combine, and transform messy ERP exports, multiple CSVs, and folder drops with 1-click refresh.
- •Connecting to external files, CSVs, folder directories, and web tables
- •Unpivoting messy cross-tab tables into clean database format
- •Merging (joining) and appending (stacking) disparate departmental files
- •Creating an automated 1-click refresh button that re-runs the entire pipeline in seconds
Data Modelling, Advanced Pivot Engines & Executive Dashboards
Turn clean data into decision-ready executive intelligence. Connect tables without VLOOKUP, design automated KPI metrics, and build interactive dashboards leadership loves.
Relational Data Modelling & Power Pivot Fundamentals
Overcome VLOOKUP performance bottlenecks. Connect millions of rows across sales, cost, and budget tables into an integrated data model using Power Pivot.
- •Introduction to the Excel Data Model (Power Pivot) without needing SQL
- •Establishing 1-to-many relationships across transaction and dimension tables
- •Writing basic DAX measures: SUM, CALCULATE, DIVIDE, and percentage of total
- •Calendar dimension tables for accurate time-intelligence analysis (MoM, YoY, YTD)
Advanced Pivot Architectures & Analytical Engines
Move beyond basic pivot tables. Design robust analytical engines with synchronised slicers, dynamic grouping, top-N filters, and automated variance analysis.
- •Connecting multiple pivot tables to unified slicers and timeline controls
- •Calculated items, dynamic groupings, and parent-child hierarchy navigation
- •Show Values As: variance vs. budget, % contribution, and rolling averages
- •Eliminating pivot formatting resets on refresh permanently
Executive Dashboard Blueprinting & Visual Hierarchy
Design clean, high-impact dashboards that executives can read in 5 seconds. Apply professional graphic standards, KPI scorecards, conditional alerts, and uncluttered charts.
- •The 5-second rule for executive visual hierarchy and grid layout
- •Designing clean KPI Metric Cards (Actual vs. Target vs. Trend)
- •Dynamic charting: bullet charts, variance waterfall charts, and sparklines
- •Interactive navigation buttons and dynamic chart title linking
Audit, Protection, Automation & Final Capstone
Protect your workbooks from being broken by colleagues, establish audit trails, set up distribution workflows, and build an end-to-end reporting system from scratch.
- •Sheet and workbook protection strategies (locking calculations while unlocking inputs)
- •Formula auditing: Trace Precedents, Evaluate Formula, and circular reference debugging
- •Exporting decision-ready PDFs and PowerPoint-ready visuals in 1 click
- •Capstone Project: Building a complete executive reporting pack from raw files to final board-ready dashboard in 60 minutes

Taught by Fawad Sarim
Fawad Sarim is an engineer, researcher, and the founder of Femtus Solutions (London, UK) and Pesgit Engineering. Holding an MS in Artificial Intelligence Engineering and a BS in Computer Engineering, he has spent over 5 years working hands-on as a freelancer and engineering consultant delivering data analytics architectures, KPI frameworks, and executive reporting systems across multi-million-dollar infrastructure and capital project portfolios.
He created this flagship masterclass after repeatedly observing corporate finance, operations, and project teams lose days to fragile formulas, calculation bottlenecks, and manual CSV reconciliations. Rather than theoretical exercises, every module brings true engineering discipline, Power Query automation, and executive presentation standards tested across real-world enterprise environments.

Common Inquiries
Why was this masterclass created?
Over 5 years of hands-on freelancing and engineering consultancy on multi-million-dollar infrastructure and capital projects revealed a universal bottleneck: highly capable professionals losing 10 to 15 hours every week manually wrestling with ERP exports, broken lookups, and fragile workbooks. This masterclass packages the exact automated data pipelines, modern dynamic array formulas, and executive KPI templates built and validated across those real-world projects.
Who is this masterclass designed for?
This program is engineered for corporate professionals, analysts, managers, and coordinators across finance, operations, supply chain, project management, and business operations who rely on Excel daily. If you spend hours each week manually building reports, wrestling with formulas, or worrying about spreadsheet errors, this training will transform your workday.
What timezones and schedules are available?
Cohorts are scheduled with dedicated live time windows for the United Kingdom & Europe (GMT/BST), North America (EST/CST), and the Middle East & Gulf (GST). All sessions are recorded in full HD and made available within 2 hours, so participants across all global timezones never miss material.
What Excel version do I need?
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) or Excel 2021 is recommended to take full advantage of modern dynamic array formulas (XLOOKUP, LET, FILTER) and Power Query. If your company uses Excel 2016 or 2019, 85% of the core principles and Power Query workflows still apply, and backward-compatible alternatives are provided.
Can my employer sponsor or reimburse this training?
Yes, the vast majority of our corporate participants have their $399 seat reimbursed through their company's professional development or training budget. We provide a pre-written Employer Reimbursement Request letter outlining the business ROI, as well as formal corporate invoices with VAT/tax breakdown.
How do corporate team bookings work?
For teams of 5 or more, we offer the Corporate Team 5-Pack ($1,499) which saves $496 and includes consolidated corporate invoicing. We also offer private dedicated cohorts tailored to your organisation's actual internal data formats, ERP systems, and reporting deadlines. Contact us directly at contact@fawadsarim.net for custom corporate packages.
What is the Executive + 1-on-1 Implementation Audit tier?
