Simplify Calculations and Automate Your Data Analysis Chores
Excel functions are programmed formulas and tasks that simplify specific calculations and work. Excel includes hundreds of functions designed to save you time — but learning how to use ALL of them can be a challenge.
This course provides a keen understanding of creating formulas from scratch and using built-in functions to speed through spreadsheet work.
In part one of this course, your instructor will walk you a step at a time through spreadsheet organization tactics, formula creating tips, important statistical functions and more, so you avoid the trial and error time you would waste figuring them out on your own.
Even if you already know how to apply basic formulas, you’ll discover how to take your data validation and analysis to an advanced level using the tools built into Excel. When you face a new function, you’ll have the know-how to quickly be able to use it effectively.
Attend and expand your analytical capabilities as you master the power of Excel and add a whole new level of depth and analysis to your worksheets!
About Your Instructor
BJ Wilson is a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Excel expert with Osprey Productions. He has been helping people learn Microsoft Office for the past 10 years.
Because there are so many functions available for your use in Excel, this webinar has been divided into two helpful programs. In Part 1, you’ll get step-by-use demonstrations covering:
- Gain what-if capability with the IF, AND, OR, and CHOOSE functions
- Powerful statistical functions MAX, AVERAGE, MEDIAN, RANKEQ, and MODE.SNGL
- Ways to summarize data with the COUNTIF, AVERAGEIF, and SUMIF functions
Accelerate your productivity with these navigation techniques:
- Instantly display all formulas in a worksheet
- Highlight all formula cells in a worksheet; highlight all numerical value cells
- Use entire row and column references in formulas
- Adjust relative reference quickly and easily
- Use AutoSum (and its extended capabilities) more efficiently
- And the list goes on and on!
Forget figuring out how to use formulas and functions from complicated tutorials and thick books—this two-part webinar is the fastest, easiest way to learn how to master functions and formulas once and for all.
After completing both parts, you will understand and be able to apply Excel formulas and functions to solve a variety of data analysis problems.
