ALX Training / Excel / Excel – Formulas and Functions II

The Need:

Are you spending hours comparing multiple spreadsheets?
Do you have a requirement to pull data from one spreadsheet to another?

Both the above actions take large amounts of time and are at risk to human error.

VLookup and XLookup: By understanding the construction and power of these two functions, you can free up your time and feel confident that data is being pulled between spreadsheets and compared correctly.

Do you work with very large data sets?  Many organisations do. Learn why it is beneficial to use named cell ranges and how they can easily make your life easier when creating formulas and functions.

When using functions in Excel, what error messages appear? Do you understand how to overcome them? This course will explain what they mean and how to clear them.

Have you come across a spreadsheet where the formulas are no longer working? Did it need fixing by an “excel expert”? Avoid this scenario by learning to protect your formulas in worksheets so others cannot accidentally make changes to them

By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently combine, match & compare data across spreadsheets, troubleshoot formulas, and protect cells.
