Overview:

Microsoft Excel serves as a foundational tool for professionals at all levels who work with information, from those just starting their careers to experienced analysts. Mastering the creation and application of Excel formulas is a key skill for enhancing workflow efficiency, improving data accuracy, and reducing time spent on manual tasks.

This session is specifically structured for individuals beginning their Excel journey, requiring no previous familiarity with the software or its calculation functions. You will conclude the training with a firm grasp of formula fundamentals and the self-assurance to implement them directly into your daily tasks.

Why you should Attend:

Do you find yourself starting out with Excel and feeling overwhelmed by formulas?
Are you spending too much time performing manual calculations within your spreadsheets?
Would you like to discover how to use formulas to automate your work and become more productive?
If you answered yes, this online training is the ideal opportunity for you.

Consider any situation that requires basic arithmetic—addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division—and you have a perfect use case for an Excel formula. Beyond constructing these basic calculations, this session will introduce you to Functions. These are pre-designed formulas engineered to execute specific tasks, often simplifying and shortening what would otherwise be complex, manually-typed equations.

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Building basic mathematical formulas: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

• Understanding the purpose and proper use of parentheses to control calculation order

• Techniques for copying formulas correctly and avoiding common cell reference errors

• Enhancing formula clarity and logic by using named ranges for important cells

• Accelerating your work with essential functions like SUM, AVERAGE, and COUNT

Who Will Benefit:

This training is ideally suited for beginners new to Excel or those with minimal experience using formulas. It is equally valuable for students, administrative staff, business professionals, or anyone seeking to strengthen their core data management capabilities.
The live demonstration will utilize the latest version of Excel for Windows, but all concepts and functions taught are fully applicable to earlier versions of the application.
