In this online CPE webinar, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shows you how to implement internal control features within your Excel spreadsheets. He explains how several Excel features—Data Validation, Conditional Formatting, and hide and protect features—can be implemented to control users’ actions and protect your worksheets and workbooks from unauthorized changes. In addition, David explains the benefits of the VLOOKUP, SUMIF, and CELL functions.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice in this online continuing education course: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 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.
Office 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.

The instructor did a great job showing how features differ across older versions of Excel, explained best practices, pointed out features that weren't even being touched out, etc. I really appreciated the level of detail he shared. I definitely plan to attend future sessions by this presenter.

David Ringstrom's Excel teaching method is EXCELlent. If you want to learn how to do things in Excel whether you're a beginner or a pro, he's the guy for you. This webinar is great if you make spreadsheets for other people to use, and you don't want them messing the spreadsheet up.

Reviewing the steps broken out via marked up screenshots and then subsequently completing the actions in real time made the work VERY easy to follow along, even if you weren't at all familiar with the topic prior to the webinar.
