This training program will present in-depth coverage of specific formulas and functions, as well as provide attendees with the perspective they need to understand the scope and depth of these critical Excel features. All examples will be presented within the context of Excel worksheets.
This session will give attendees a perspective on what functions are available and will explain (with extensive examples) how to use many of them, including: the IF function (with AND and OR), the powerful VLOOKUP function, selected Date, Statistical, Financial, and Mathematical functions, and the frequently overlooked Text functions, critical for cleaning up problems with downloaded data. In addition, the powerful COUNTIF/SUMIF family of functions, as well as newer functions - introduced in Excel 2013 and 2010 - will also be covered.
In essence, the webinar will examine:
Why Should You Attend:
Working with formulas and functions in Excel is absolutely critical to building powerful financial and analytical worksheets and is probably the most important skill set for many Excel users. Excel has over 450 built-in functions, a potent set of power tools that simplify certain kinds of formulas and give you a huge number of computational possibilities. Many Excel functions provide extended analytical capabilities and open the door to more efficient use of Excel, but with so many functions, it’s no easy task to know which functions are available and which ones you might have overlooked.This session will give attendees a perspective on what functions are available and will explain (with extensive examples) how to use many of them, including: the IF function (with AND and OR), the powerful VLOOKUP function, selected Date, Statistical, Financial, and Mathematical functions, and the frequently overlooked Text functions, critical for cleaning up problems with downloaded data. In addition, the powerful COUNTIF/SUMIF family of functions, as well as newer functions - introduced in Excel 2013 and 2010 - will also be covered.
In essence, the webinar will examine:
- Numerous productivity tips, shortcuts, and accelerator tools to work effectively with Excel
- Extended coverage of the IF function and its immense capabilities
- In-depth coverage of lookup functions - VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, and CHOOSE
