Description

Description

Microsoft Excel has hundreds, if not thousands, of functions and features. This course aims to cover some of the best – that is the ones I find most useful. In “Adventures in Excel”, I cover the simple-to-use but powerful functions that I use most often:

  • Basic features including products and powers

  • Key date functions including the calculation of due dates and days past due

  • Generating random numbers and random dates

  • The new IFS functions (new to Office365)

  • Text functions

  • The most useful logical functions and IS functions

  • How to create a drop-down list

  • The new XLOOKUP function

  • Pivot tables

 

These functions are easy to use, and, unless your role is extremely specialised, they are probably the ones you’ll use 90% of the time.

I hope you find the course helpful.
