USEFUL EXCEL FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS
Course Introduction
A formula is an expression which calculates the value of a cell. Functions are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel.
Every function has the same structure. It’s not easy to remember which function and which arguments to use for each task. Fortunately, the Insert Function feature in Excel helps you with this.
Course objective
- At the end of this course you will have a greater understanding of building complex formulas using nested functions (such as IF statements).
- You will find quicker ways to customise formulas by taking advantage of the built-in functions available in Excel. Save time by learning more sophisticated search & auditing techniques when working with data-heavy spreadsheets
