Analyze, manage, and share data of all kinds, from personal and professional budgeting to scheduling. The Level 1 class provides all the basics for creating and editing spreadsheets and workbooks and performing simple calculations.
Students must have MS Office Excel software installed on their computer to participate in class.
Target Student: This course is intended for students who wish to gain the foundational understanding of Microsoft Office Excel 2013 that is necessary to create and work with electronic spreadsheets.
Overview: By applying the robust functionality that's built into Excel to your organization's raw data, you will be able to gain a level of insight into that data that would have been nearly impossible just a couple of decades ago. Excel can help you organize, calculate, analyze, revise, update, and present your data in ways that will help the decision makers in your organization steer you in the right direction.
