    BOTi Essential Course – Excel to the power of 3: Beginners + Problem solving + Graphs/Charts = Winning Formula Training : Course Introduction

    Don’t be terrified of spreadsheets!  You don’t need to be  a  numbers boffin to master  the basics of Excel.  This is one of several Excel courses we offer which cater to all levels of expertise, from beginners to intermediate through to advanced.

    Welcome to the world of Excel.  Microsoft Excel is perhaps the single most important software program used in business today.  Particularly in the field of information systems, Excel is an essential end-user computing tool.  Many business professionals use Excel to perform everyday functional tasks and an increasing number of people rely on Excel as a decision support tool.

    Excel enables users to unlock the potential of their data by using formulas across a grid of cells.  Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns which allows sorting and filtering.

    The first part of this power course focusses on showing you how to create a spreadsheet from a given specification, manipulate data using cells, label cells and formula cells and perform basic sums such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and sum.

    In the second part you will learn how to develop a solution to a specified problem using formulas and built-in functions.

    In part three we teach you how to create and edit graphs and charts using features that enable you to add colour, dimension and visual context to a set of data values.
