Learn to navigate multiple worksheets, save your workbook, create formulas, use functions, change the layout of your worksheet, and how to create practical worksheets. 

Some examples of using Microsoft Excel as a Practical Tool:

• 1040 Income Tax – Maintain tax information that is very useful when preparing your annual tax return. 
• Grocery Shopping List – Quickly create a weekly grocery shopping list. What a time saver! 
• Contractor Estimate Calculator - Great tool for any contractor who has to provide estimates for customers.

This is live, online class using ZOOM. 

The design of this course includes 2-3 hours of work with the software between classes to gain maximum benefit from the sessions.

Makeup class, if needed, 03/27/25.

You will receive a link to a brief pre-assessment with your email receipt.  This will assist the instructor in meeting your goals for the class. 

You will want to have Microsoft Excel on your computer for this workshop and many people find it helpful to have two monitors, though it is certainly not necessary to benefit from the sessions.  There are two ways to accomplish this: 1) attach an external screen to your computer (contact our program if you need technical assistance with that); or 2) using two computers (one for Excel and the other for the ZOOM meeting).
