Microsoft Excel is a software application that offers three distinct processes for managing data: spreadsheet, database and graphing. The primary feature, spreadsheet, is a number-crunching
tool allowing for sophisticated calculations such as budgets, finances, inventories or any task that is numerically oriented. Spreadsheet data are entered and displayed in a grid consisting
of rows and columns. The database and graphing functions allow for selecting, retrieving, viewing and charting data that is contained within the spreadsheet mode. This online course contains three modules.
Module I. Provides a thorough introduction to each of Excel’s features.
Module II. Assists the user in working with large spreadsheets and managing multiple layers of spreadsheets at the same time. Interaction with Web technologies is covered, including saving
a spreadsheet as a Web page. The use of enhanced charting facilities and advanced functions is also covered.
Module III. The primary focus is on using the analysis components within the application to budget and manage financial expenses. Participants learn to work with databases, templates, lists, macros and audit tools. Particular attention is devoted to summarizing large amounts of data rapidly, performing "what-if" analyses and working problems backwards to find variables
when a desired outcome or scenario is known.
