Learning Objective

  • To recognize that some features may only work in the latest version of Excel but not in older versions.
  • To recall how to apply keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions to overcome default features or behaviors in Excel.
  • To identify which feature can lock certain rows at the bottom of the Excel window.
  • Choosing the disabling features in the Excel worksheet and using the Function key F2 to toggle the Enter and Edit modes.
  • To recall the building of the Pivot Table and using the undocumented DATEDIF Function and the Used Range Function.

Course Overview

Do you often run into subtle obstacles when working in Excel? If yes, then this online Excel CPE course is certainly for you. We bring here a solution focusing on the Nuances and quirks of MS Excel with one of the eminent Excel experts David Ringstrom, CPA. Many times we face problems when the other person shares an Excel workbook in a newer version. David will explain to you how to overcome these obstacles, which will assist the users in working more efficiently in Excel.

David will demonstrate each technique at least twice in this online CPE webinar, firstly via a step-wise PowerPoint presentation and secondly in a subscription-based MS Office 365 version of Excel also he will draw your attention to differences in the older versions of Excel (i.e. 2019, 2016, 2013, etc) in his presentation and detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Major topics discussed in this webinar:

  • Office 365 version of Excel
  • Automatically recover spreadsheets, split the worksheet, and enter data sideways
  • Understanding the Table feature, Sparklines Feature (Excel 2010+), and Overview of Quick Access Toolbar
  • Building a Pivot Table, and the Pivot Data function
  • The Undocumented DATEDIF function, Worksheet Navigation Shortcuts, and Restore Workbook Sharing/Track Changes
  • Missing Folders Link on Recent Menu, and Threaded Comments (Office 365)

David brings to your attention the subscription-based product 'Office 365' which provides new feature updates as often as monthly as against the perpetual licensed versions of Excel such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on, which do not update and include the latest features.

I found it to be quite beneficial and its applicability in my workplace. Table functions more effectively in data analysis tasks. I appreciated the focus on troubleshooting common issues. Understanding how to navigate quirks in Excel will help me resolve problems quickly, saving time and reducing frustration. Further, learning about the nuances of creating charts and graphs will enhance our reporting capabilities, making our data presentations more impactful.

While I am great with working with excel, there are always new things that you can learn from someone else and this webinar provided just that. I really enjoyed the examples and topics that was covered. Even though I knew some of the techniques that was shown, he provided new examples on how to use them which I hope to find beneficial in the coming tax season. I will definitely attend another one of his webinars again.
