Excel For Power Users

The great value of spreadsheets is that they are incredibly easy to design, develop and use. The down side to this is that it is so easy to get one tiny wee thing wrong which is often overlooked. How well do you validate cell references? There are so many tools begging to be used. Would you like to know how to make better use of Excel`s power? Would you like to become effective in analysing and presenting your information? What about all those functions? (There are far too many to list here!)

This is the course to further develop your spreadsheets skills and unleash some of that Excel power in your own spreadsheets. Here you will find answers to some of those nagging queries you have always had. Discover solutions to make things easier and practical tips to take away.

Duration: One day.

Target Audience: Anyone who is currently using Excel for aspects of their work.

Content: This is a blank canvas just now but to give you an example, this may contain items like;
