Day-1: 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!

Area Covered:

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!

Day-2: Deploy Time-Savers That Ease Your Data Analysis Chores

Excel includes hundreds of functions designed to save you time — but learning how to use ALL of them can be a challenge. The second part of this webinar focuses on using work-saving functions, spreadsheet-building methods, and other techniques to speed you through your work.

In the second part of this webinar, your instructor will walk you through manipulating and formatting spreadsheet text, using financial functions, taking control of date and time challenges, and using a handful of the latest functions appearing in Excel.

You’ll be armed with the knowledge you need to avoid misinterpreting critical data, losing precious time recalculating, or missing out on additional analysis already at your fingertips.

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!

Area Covered:

Because there are so many functions available for your use in Excel, this webinar has been divided into two information-packed programs. In Part 2, you’ll get step-by-step demonstrations showing how to:

• Cross-reference data with the table-lookup functions VLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH
• Use frequently-overlooked Text functions to clean and modify the display of your data
• Adjust your results with ROUND, ROUNDUP, and ROUNDDOWN
• Apply financial functions including PMT, RATE, and FV
• Manipulate data with the newest functions, including IFS, CONCAT, TEXTJOIN, MINIFS, and more
• Use flexible date and time functions

Who Should Attend?

This two-part webinar is for anyone who uses Excel at a basic level and wants to learn how to create formulas and use some of the built-in functions.

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.
