Spending more time than necessary in an Excel spreadsheet is the bane of an accountant’s existence. Often times when working on a spreadsheet you spend more time playing around with formatting and attempting to get the cells to do what we want than we actually spend manually inputting data. Excel has many features that will ease tedious & repetitive tasks, shaving hours off of your day.

This Online CPE webinar presents well over 100 Excel shortcuts, many of them keystroke shortcuts and many of them dragging techniques not involving command sequences. When appropriate, shortcuts will be differentiated as to their use in various Excel versions – Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), 2019, 2016, and others.

These various productivity tips, shortcuts, and accelerator tools will be presented throughout the webinar using Excel worksheets and workbooks based on real-life data.
