Learning Objective

  • To identify how to sum values based on a single criterion and multiple criteria.
  • To recall how to use Microsoft Query to get data from one workbook into another.
  • To explore Microsoft Query as a Workbook Link Alternative
  • To recognize how to duplicate columns, rows, or cells within an Excel worksheet.
  • To discuss data security prompts in Excel

Course Overview

In this Online CPE Webinar, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shows you how to extract data from databases, such as Access or SQL Server, as well as text files and then transfer that data into Excel. Once your data is in Excel, you then can work with it in a variety of ways, including using worksheet functions to summarize data, querying text files and databases from within Excel, creating self-updating links to databases and other data sources, and more.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.

This Online CPE/CE webinar on Excel covers the following Major Topics:

  • Use Microsoft Query to create self-updating links to databases, spreadsheets, text files, and other data sources.
  • Understand SQL basics, including SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY, and TOP, to streamline data queries.
  • Implement SUMIF, COUNTIF, and SUMIFS functions to summarize data based on single or multiple criteria.
  • Compare the AGGREGATE function in Excel 2010+ with the SUBTOTAL function available in all versions of Excel.
  • Use the Slicer feature with tables in Excel 2013+ for efficient list filtering and improve spreadsheet integrity with the Table feature.
  • Eliminate workbook link risks and extract data from various sources like Access databases and text files using Microsoft Query.
