Managing Data in MS Excel

Unfortunately a vast majority haven’t mastered some of the most powerful data management tools that Excel offers. Anyone who deals with large lists in Excel needs these tools and techniques to effectively manage data and become more productive.

Salespeople managing lead lists, HR professionals managing employee data, managers dealing with budgets and project plans can all tap into the power of Excel’s database features, without getting bogged down in techie-speak in this webinar.
