Overview
Excel is more than inputting data into rows and columns. It is calculating that data. It is summarizing your data. It is inserting graphs and chats to communicate that data. Do you have to sort the data in order to find relevant information? Is there criteria to input to isolate certain data sets? There may be a need to analyze that data into metrics that fit a specific set of standards. Then the data should be protected against unwanted changes. You will learn all of this in one easy to follow workshop.
