Microsoft Excel 2007- Essentials

Get Three Levels of Microsoft Excel in Two Powerful Days!
This "Essentials" class is designed to be the only Excel 2007 course you'll ever need.

Microsoft Excel is by far the most widely used and the most user friendly spreadsheet program available. The powerful software program allows you to make quick and accurate numerical calculations. Entering data onto a spreadsheet (or worksheet as they are called in Excel) is quick and easy. Once data has been entered in a worksheet, Excel can instantly :

  • Make calculations, such as commission, mortgage payments or tax amounts
  • Create charts to present the information so it is easily understood
  • Combine with other data and sort by multiple factors

After years of using and teaching Excel we recognize that there is an overwhelming number of tricks that one can learn about using the program. Therefore, we decided to listen to our clients needs and boil down three Excel courses into one, teaching the key topics that most people should know to maximize productivity. The two-day format provides plenty of time for hands-on practice and in-class exercises. You also get the whole manual, so you walk away with training materials and practice data files for the entire Excel program, and you never have to take another Excel 2007 course!
