Training Advice
Course Introduction
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.
This course will enable you 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. You will also learn to create leading edge presentations using a number of different features such as pie charts and graphs and add colour to your presentation using the fill color function. A host of other key functions such as conditional formatting which enables you to easily spot trends and patterns in data is merely scratching the surface of what Excel can do.
