Organizations the world over rely on information to make sound decisions regarding all manner of affairs. But with the amount of available data growing on a daily basis, the ability to make sense of all of that data is becoming more and more challenging. Fortunately, this is where the power of Microsoft® Excel® can help.
Excel can help you organize, calculate, analyze, revise, update, and present your data in ways that will help the decision makers in your organization steer you in the right direction. It will also make these tasks much easier for you to accomplish, and in much less time, than if you used traditional pen-and-paper methods or non-specialized software. This course bundles together all three levels of Excel for a seamless learning experience that takes you from basic spreadsheet functions to leveraging the power of data analysis and presentation to make informed, intelligent organizational decisions, collaborate on workbooks with other users, and automate workbook functionality.
Note: Most Microsoft Office users perform the majority of their daily tasks using the desktop version of the Office software, so that is the focus of this training. The course material will also enable you to access and effectively utilize many web-based resources provided with your Microsoft 365 subscription. This includes brief coverage of key skills for using Excel for the Web and OneDrive. Helpful notes throughout the material alert you to cases where the online version of the application may function differently from the primary, desktop version.
This course may be a useful component in your preparation for the Microsoft Excel (Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2021): Exam MO-200 and Microsoft Excel Expert (Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2021): Exam MO-201 certification exams.
