OVERVIEW

Learn how to explore, analyze, and report on data using IBM Planning Analytics Workspace and related clients.

This course teaches learners how to explore, analyze, and report on data using IBM Planning Analytics Workspace and related clients.

Participants learn core Planning Analytics concepts- such as models, cubes, dimensions, views, and sets- and apply them to create interactive reports, dashboards, and formatted outputs.

The course combines conceptual instruction with guided, hands-on exercises that allow learners to practice real-world tasks, including creating books and views, formatting reports, entering and spreading data, applying calculations and conditional formatting, working with sandboxes, publishing websheets, and exploring forecasting results.

These exercises reinforce best practices and help learners build confidence using Planning Analytics features in practical business scenarios.

The course reflects the current Planning Analytics Workspace v2.1.x environment while preserving content that remains valid from earlier v2.x releases.

The course emphasizes effective analysis, reporting, collaboration, and planning techniques that learners can immediately apply in their own Planning Analytics implementations.
