I was not familar with conditional formating. I don't think it was available in the early versions of Excel, i.e., pre 2003. Great tool and it makes the spreadsheet so much easier to read. If you work with spreadsheets, you need this course. I had a great experience. I would say a detailed excel conditional formatting course with practical practice files.

I enjoyed this webinar and learned a few new shortcuts. The instructor and host were both great and attentive to questions. The handout materials are very informative on their own and will be very useful as quick reference guides to help prompt my memory when needed. The instructor used the handout to talk us through the steps, and then followed up by showing us. I am a person that needs to read through steps first and then follow up by watching someone and then going through the steps myself. In this webinar, I had plenty of time to do the steps myself while the instructor was going through them a second time. It was perfect for my learning style.
DL
I like the structure and how it was presented.
