Use Excel's advanced functionality and formulas to perform powerful data manipulation

This highly interactive course will enable you to take your Excel learning to a new level. Building on your existing knowledge of IF and VLOOKUP statements, you will learn to understand different types of data and the formulas required to report in powerful ways for a variety of purposes. You will learn how time functions are used to report on performance data to illustrate successes or challenges in powerful ways.
