Do you feel you need to build some basic skills and foundation knowledge around Excel? You may be a member of staff who uses Excel rarely, but when you do, you find it a bit overwhelming to do simple tasks. Or perhaps you use it fairly regularly within your role, but have never had any formal training & would like to get back to basics so that you can feel you are using it in the most effective way…
This virtual 90-minute workshop will provide an introduction to Excel and the relevant terminology, followed by instructions for basic use. Attendees will leave feeling confident in creating and navigating Excel, using features to format data and using basic formulas.
