Course Description
If you’re tired of trying to manage large Excel spreadsheets, you’ll find this course to be extremely helpful. Excel expert David Ringstrom demonstrates multiple ways you can tame cumbersome spreadsheets with confidence. He shares time-saving techniques and keyboard shortcuts, outlines how to avoid repetitive tasks, explains ways to improve the integrity of your spreadsheets, and more.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
