Take Your Spreadsheet Skills to the Next Level

This training course is particularly useful if you are
A new or intermediate Excel user.

Many government employees use Microsoft Excel® only occasionally for updating figures on a monthly report, creating a budget, or preparing mailing lists. Being comfortable using Excel is a great skill to have, but becoming a more knowledgeable user is even better.

When you master some power-user tricks, you’ll be more productive and valuable at work.

While it is important to play around with Excel and try different functions, having an expert walk you through the process is so much better.

During this webcast, you’ll get a step-by-step demonstration of some key Excel features that can truly advance your skills and boost your productivity.

Learn About:

• Customizing the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar
• Data sets vs. tables – which to use and why
• Conditional formatting
• Sorting and filtering data
• Using AutoSum to total data quickly
• Steps to grouping and subtotaling data
• Building charts and using Sparklines to create visuals

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

But … The good news is :

There are some simple instructional design principles based on cognitive science that are easy to understand and apply, and can improve learning outcomes in corporate training
