Course Overview

  • Does your job require you to manage data at a high level of complexity?
  • Are you losing out on the upper-level data management jobs you want because your existing spreadsheet skills are too basic?
  • Have you gone to the Microsoft “Help” website when trying to figure out formulas or charts, and you still get nowhere?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Microsoft Office Excel – Level 3 may be the right class for you!

This workshop is for individuals who need to produce complex Excel spreadsheets.  Participants will learn how to use complex mathematical and logical functions in Excel; use nested “IF” statements; use advanced formatting features; add more complex charts; reference cells on other worksheets in complex formulas; and format and change the properties of charts.
