Mastering Excel Formulas and Functions: Become a Power User and Boost Your Efficiency

Duration: 90 minutes

Most people use Microsoft Excel inefficiently, limiting themselves to just a handful of formulas and functions. They know little about the many powerful Excel functions that provide extended capabilities that make you far more productive.

Excel has nearly 300 built-in functions. And it’s no easy task to know which ones might be useful to you. That’s what this Webinar is about – exploring the tools most likely to help you

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Expert Excel trainer Dennis Taylor will cover how to: 

  • Simplify searching for data in tables with the lookup functions VLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH. 
  • Categorize data more effectively by using the master date and time functions 
  • Debug formulas that are giving you incorrect answers
  • Create short, simple formulas by using specialized rounding functions and basic statistical and financial functions 
  • Use “array functions” that will help you tackle difficult formulas that deal with massive amounts of data.
  • Use frequently overlooked TEXT functions so you can extract data from within cells, combine data from different cells and give you cleanup tools for dealing with problems such as: 
    • leading or trailing spaces
    • upper/lowercase changes
    • trailing minus signs, and 
    • text//value conversions.
  • Gain programming-like capability by mastering the IF, AND, OR, and CHOOSE functions
  • Use the power functions SUMIF and COUNTIF to help you tabulate database totals with ease
  • And more.
