Overview

Leery of those cryptic Excel Functions and syntax? The ultimate goal is to empower the attendee by demonstrating the most common formulas so they understand formula syntax to build and fix their own calculations as needed. And in this seminar, we have time to move into more advanced formula features.

Plus, have you ever wished someone would just tell you what you didn't know about Excel? It is amazing what has been around the program since the beginning, and we will reintroduce some of those features in this seminar.
