Create multi-purpose worksheets with custom views, use the Table feature to speed through working with lists of data, and use Conditional Formatting to draw attention to selected data. Eliminate repetitive data entry work with the Flash Fill, Text to Columns, and Custom Lists features.

  • Formatting certain words within a column of text with Conditional Formatting.
  • Learning how the Table feature empowers you to improve the integrity of Excel spreadsheets.
  • Managing cumbersome lists of data using the Table feature.
  • Removing Conditional Formatting when it’s no longer needed within a spreadsheet.
  • Removing the Table feature from a worksheet if it’s no longer needed.
  • Separating first/last names into two columns without using formulas or retyping.
  • Streamlining the filtering of lists in Excel 2013 and later by using the Slicer feature with tables.
  • Streamlining the process of printing spreadsheets to PDF format.
  • Transforming a column of salaries into an instant heat map by way of Excel’s Conditional Formatting feature.

This is very helpful. Seeing the screenshot of the steps, but then having you run through the example made it really clear. I'm definitely going to be using custom views on a regular basis for my monthly/quarterly reports.
