Course Description

Microsoft Excel is a helpful and powerful program for data analysis and documentation. 

It is a spreadsheet program, which contains a number of columns and rows, where each intersection of a column and a row is a “cell.” Each cell contains one point of data or one piece of information. By organizing the information in this way, you can make information easier to find, and automatically draw information from changing data.

Creating effective spreadsheets comes down to having a solid handle on Excel. You can strengthen your expertise in this essential accounting software with this CPE webinar.

Excel is a spreadsheet program that allows you to store, organize, and analyze information.

A function in Excel is a preset formula that helps perform mathematical, statistical, and logical operations. Once you are familiar with the function you want to use, all you have to do is enter an equal sign (=) in the cell, followed by the name of the function and the cell range it applies to.

While you may think Excel is only used by certain people to process complicated data, anyone can learn how to take advantage of the program's powerful features. Whether you're keeping a budget, organizing a training log, or creating an invoice, Excel makes it easy to work with different types of data.

Excel is one of the most important business applications of all time. 

It provides managers with the capability to perform sophisticated and powerful analyses, including connecting with corporate databases with hundreds of thousands of records, within moments. 

At the same time, it is intuitive and straightforward to use. It would be hard to find any business, small or large, whose managers do not rely on Excel in their daily work. The resulting knowledge will enhance your accounting practice and allow you to better serve your clients or organization.

This CPE webinar gives you a full introduction to Microsoft Excel, the data analyst industry and marketplace, job opportunities and salaries, and the various Excel-related job roles.
