» Overview: Getting to grips with the basics of Microsoft® Excel. NB the course is taken on Excel 2003 (version 11)

» What do I learn?

Work more confidently and efficiently with Microsoft® Excel, from basic formulae and chart creation, to sorting data, filtering data and linking worksheets.

» By the end of this course you will:

  • Know quick methods of navigation and data entry
  • Be able to use the fill handle and create custom lists
  • Understand how to construct and display formulae
  • Know how to attach notes to a spreadsheet using the comments feature
  • Be able to use the chart wizard to represent your data graphically in your spreadsheet
  • Know how to simultaneously create, format and link multiple worksheets within the workbook
  • Understand how to open and navigate multiple files and dynamically link them to produce a consolidation workbook
  • Know how to sort and filter data
  • Be familiar with applying page breaks and print settings

Who should attend? Anyone who wants to develop "self-taught" skills, to become efficient and highly effective users of the program. Although the course is aimed at anyone who uses Excel on a regular basis, it may be especially useful to Sage users who currently export data out of Sage software and into Excel.

Important Note: although this course uses data which has been exported from Sage Line 50 into Microsoft Excel, it does not seek to show how to perform the export function (i.e. the linking process). Customers who wish to learn how to link the two software programs should attend the Linking Microsoft Office With Sage course.
