Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, teaches the basics of using Excel pivot tables in this beneficial webcast. Pivot tables empower users to easily create reports from complex data simply by using their mouse. Pivot tables, as is the case with many Excel features, have nuances that can trip up the unaware user, so David explains some traps and shares tricks to help ensure the reports you create are accurate.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: 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.

This is the best comprehensive "Excel" course I have come across for beginners. David is extraordinary in her explanation of concepts and her talk exhibits her honesty and sincere desire to make one to the love the "Excel" the most .

I have no hesitation in declaring that her Excel courses put together is the most comprehensive Excel bundle available for at the most competitive rates particularly during sale and recommend to those interested in becoming an Excel expert to go for it

This was a great course. I thought I knew excel pretty, but there was so much that I didn't know. She explained the concepts very well, great example worksheets, and so many tips to make my life easier. Thank you. I will be downloading more of your courses!

This course is concise, gets to the point, and Leila has such knowledge of scenarios that she tells you how to act in more than one of them. There is a good amount of resources that will be helpful even after you complete the course. I also like how Leila and her instructor team encouraged me to participate in the Q&A sections, recognizing my contributions to the course, and talking with me in detail when I found a feature or issue that needed further discussion. There's tons of Excel courses in Udemy, but this is one of the top dogs to get if you're just starting and want to hone your skills on all basic fronts of the tool.
