Excel for the Rest of Us
Class - Fall Only | Available (Membership Required)
Most people think that Excel is only for complicated formulas and calculations. However, it can also be very useful for organizing and managing data, such as rosters, mailing lists, inventory lists, charts, etc. This 5-week course will focus on those features such as sorting, calculating totals, integrating with Word mail merge, generating charts, and formatting for printing, but will not delve into complex formulas/calculations. No previous Excel experience required, but you must already have experience with how to use a personal computer.
- Instructor Read Gilgen has extensive experience with using Excel as described, but not in complicated data calculations. He has 30+ years of experience teaching technical software.
