Microsoft Excel: Part 1

The Basics

In Part 1 of our four-part series, get started using Microsoft Excel by learning how to enter information, format text and numbers, sort and filter, and use basic formulas.

In our increasingly tech-reliant world, Microsoft Excel skills are highly valued in employees (and prospective employees). And many of us—who previously got along just fine without it—will find we need it! Thankfully, it’s not as scary as it looks; and when you do learn to use Excel, you’ll have access to a fantastic tool to make your work quicker, easier, and better! In this introductory class, you’ll learn to:

• Get around in the Excel window
• Enter information in your workbook (and make it look the way you want it to)
• Sort and filter your data to easily find what you’re looking for
• Create basic formulas (the power tools or Excel)
• And more!

This is Part 1 of a four-part weekly series, so don’t forget to register for the other sessions!
