Course Overview

Formulas and functions are the bread and butter of Excel. They drive almost everything interesting and useful you will ever do in a spreadsheet. Mastering the basic Excel formulas is critical for beginners to become highly proficient in financial analysis. Microsoft Excel is considered the industry standard piece of software in data analysis. Microsoft’s spreadsheet program also happens to be one of the most preferred software by accounting and tax professionals in data processing, financial modeling, and presentation.

This CPE webinar introduces the basic concepts you need to know to be proficient with formulas in Excel. Built into Excel are over 475 functions - a potent set of power tools simplifying certain kinds of formulas and supplying you with a huge number of computational possibilities. Many Excel functions provide extended analytical capabilities and open the door to more efficient use of Excel.

This Excel CPE webinar gives you perspective on :

  • What functions are available & how to use many of them (With extensive examples)
  • The IF function (with AND and OR), the widely-used VLOOKUP function
  • Selected Date, Statistical, Financial, and Mathematical functions
  • The frequently overlooked Text functions.

In addition, the powerful COUNTIF/SUMIF family of functions, as well as more recently introduced functions – XLOOKUP, XMATCH, FILTER, UNIQUE among them - are also covered.

If you want to be an Excel Specialist, you can achieve that by attending our Certificate course on Excel.
