Learning Objective

  • To analyse how to deal with annoying changes to Print Preview in Word 2010 and later.
  • To determine how to recover the From Text command in Excel 2019 and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365).
  • To explore the Threaded Comments feature available in Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) (but not Excel 2019 and earlier).
  • To analyse the new XLOOKUP worksheet function being rolled out to Microsoft 365 users

Course Overview

In this online Excel CPE webinar Excel instructor David H. Ringstrom, CPA will shine a light on some of the darkest corners of Excel. Watch as David helps you resurrect features that you may have thought are gone from Excel, or in other cases confirms your suspicions. You'll see how many users inadvertently transform even the latest version of Excel into a zombie state with disabled features by using an obsolete worksheet format. You'll also see how to avoid incorporating features that will work in Office 365 but that will turn into zombies in any other version of Excel.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 (formerly 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.

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.

In this online CPE course following major topics are covered:  

  • How to convert .XLS files compatible with Excel 2003 into the modern Excel workbook format.
  • Investigating the risks associated with the obsolete LOOKUP function.
  • Modernizing tasks that involve combining text with the CONCAT function in Excel 2019 and later.
  • Creating a shortcut to allow you to clear the decks in Excel by closing all open documents at once.
  • Discovering how to avoid wasting time when saving workbooks as .XLS files by dispatching the Compatibility Checker.
  • Discovering new worksheet functions available in Excel 2016 and later.
  • Recovering the From Text command in Excel 2019 and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365).
  • Restoring “classic” Print Preview functionality in Excel 2010 and later.
  • What are the benefits and risks of sharing workbooks via OneDrive in Microsoft 365
