This Microsoft Excel training session covers THREE intermediate to advanced features of Excel that provide automation within the application.
Formulas are equations that can perform calculations, return information, manipulate the contents of other cells, test conditions, and more. Explore what is considered the top 10 functions.
Lookup functions in Excel are far superior to manually searching for specific data elements in a spreadsheet. VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH are some of the most well-known (and most useful) functions in Excel.
Being able to create and edit macros is one of the must-have skills for Excel Power Users. Having this knowledge will save you hours of time by allowing you to automate any Excel-based task or process. If you’ve never created macros or used VBA before, this advanced Excel training is for you.
