Excel - Formulas and Functions 101
Overview:
While you can use Excel for simple data organization, you access only a fraction of its potential without leveraging formulas and functions. These features are the engine of the application, transforming it from a static table into a dynamic and powerful calculation tool.
Any task that requires arithmetic—from totaling expenses to calculating averages—is an opportunity to use a formula. Furthermore, Excel's built-in functions are pre-designed formulas that simplify complex calculations, allowing you to automate intricate tasks that would be time-consuming and error-prone to perform manually.
Why you should Attend:
Mastering formulas is the key to automating your workflow and reclaiming valuable time. Stop relying on mental math, finger-counting, or a separate calculator app. This session will teach you how to delegate these tasks to Excel, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in your calculations.

Whether you are a student, an administrative professional, or a business user, this training will provide the foundational skills to make you a more proficient and efficient Excel user.
