Advanced Excel training

Seasoned Microsoft Excel users swear by the power and versatility of this spreadsheet application. Excel is a popular business tool and it is always a plus to be able to add advanced Excel skills to your CV. Advanced Excel training teaches you the intricate workings of the software.

In order to progress to an advanced course, one should first complete a course in the basic Excel operations. An advanced course would cover subjects like manipulating data, the principle of data-in data-out, managing workbooks and templates, formulas and outlines, conditional formatting and macros and customisations.

After completing advanced Excel training, the student would be able to perform complex functions like build database queries, manipulate data in Pivot Tables, validate data and program Excel macros. In addition, the student would learn to create and use Web queries, how to use the Subtotal function to easily create totals, use advanced sum formulas like SUMIF and SUMPRODUCT, use the custom number format to label totals and securely encrypt worksheet files.

These are only some examples; others include learning to use HLOOKUP and VLOOKUP to work with information in tables, working with array formulas, using string arithmetic, learning to format with zeros (instead of dashes) when using options like the accounting format and using Information Rights Management to secure data. It might sound like a basic operation, but there are a surprising number of people who do not know Excel’s numerous keyboard shortcuts for regularly used functions. You would also learn all of these and be truly surprised at how much time they can save.

An advanced Excel training course takes only a few days, after which you will feel like a professional, and would be able to harness the power of Excel to you and your business’ best advantage.
