Webcast: Advanced Excel Topics for Spreadsheet Power Users
242 | Webcast | Intermediate | Scheduled
Description
Accountants and other business professionals that work in Excel extensively become very strong with many aspects of the ubiquitous spreadsheet application. They, however, often do not have knowledge of the numerous advanced features available in Excel. In this session we highlight many of the powerful tools found in Excel and provide details as to how they are beneficial and how they are used. Topics include data connectivity, advanced functions available for formula creation, Tables and PivotTables, and charting tools. Many proficient Excel users only utilize a limited percentage of the available functionality when they work with spreadsheets, which is like tying one's hands behind his back. This session will help make participants "two-fisted" Excel users!
