In this ILT Series course, students will further build on the skills acquired in the Microsoft Excel 2013 Basic and Intermediate courses. They will work with advanced functions and formulas, as well as lookup functions such as VLOOKUP, MATCH, and INDEX. In addition, students will learn about data validation, and will use advanced data filtering. They will apply advanced chart formatting options, and create more complex charts. They will work with PivotTables and PivotCharts, export and import data, and query external databases. Students will learn about the analytical features of Excel, such as Goal Seek, and how to create scenarios. Finally, they will run and record macros, and explore VBA code.

The Axzo Edition of this course focuses solely on the skills real users need to be productive immediately in Microsoft Excel. We’ve listened carefully to customer feedback on the content, and redesigned the course to flow better in the classroom. Setup is clean and simple, examples relevant, and extraneous content gone.
