Training Description

Excel has been known for decades as the ultimate number-crunching program, but did you know that you can use it for many everyday chores, like maintaining lists, creating sharp-looking charts or keeping your expenses in check? The Excel toolbox is a 10 hour workshop for reviewing the basics and exploring those less known but useful features. We will cover:

1. Functions and formula syntax

2. Stat and logical functions

3. Charts

4. List management

5. Document creation, including budgets and reports

We are putting the emphasis on hands-on practical examples, using the English version of the software.

Note: The course will be held in a computer lab equipped with computers running the same software. Please do not bring your personal computer.
