  • To recognize how the INDIRECT worksheet function simplifies creating summary worksheets.
  • To recall how to use the Watch Window feature to monitor and navigate to key worksheet cells.

  • To discuss how to work with a split worksheet and streamline custom views

Course Overview

Are you tired of trying to manage your large Excel spreadsheets? In this comprehensive presentation, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, demonstrates many ways you can successfully tame cumbersome spreadsheets. His helpful tips enable you to save time, improve the integrity of large workbooks, avoid repetitive tasks, and much 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 Continuing Professional Education Webinar on Excel covers the following Key Topics:

  • Comparing the risks and benefits of using 64-bit versus 32-bit Microsoft Excel.
  • Restoring Full-Screen View in Excel 2013+ and create a keyboard shortcut for quick access.
  • Navigating large workbooks easily with hidden menus and keyboard shortcuts.
  • Using a single line of code to unhide all worksheets and learn to hide multiple sheets at once.
  • Master Excel's Freeze Panes, Group command for hiding/unhiding columns/rows, and Split Worksheet feature for locking rows.
  • Discovering resources for faster calculations, automate value pulling with INDIRECT, and navigate via clickable hyperlinks.

I enjoyed learning the new things! Sure, it went a little fast, but I am glad that I have the material to look back and work through. It made me want to take a course to completely refresh my Excel macros knowledge. I had my questions answered in real time, and I really appreciated that. Thank you so much.

Autumn Ozenberger, CPA (US)

Great class! Showed lots of useful tips that I wasn't aware of. I've never used the Watch Window before, so that was a nice takeaway. I also saved the marco he shared to show all hidden tabs on my Quick Access Toolbar. And Print Preview Fullscreen! Thank you for that!
