Over one billion people use Microsoft Office, and 50,000 new small business users join these ranks every month. Running a business today requires knowledge of this ubiquitous software suite's core programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Even if your company is not one of the 90% who use Microsoft Office internally, your clients may want to share workbook or database files with you, and vice versa. Microsoft Excel is typically used for creating spreadsheets and databases. In this beginner-level workshop you will learn through patient and professional hands-on interactive training and exercises how to make Excel perform common numerical calculations. If you use Excel, working with formulas is not only valuable for running a business, it's essential knowledge. To participate, bring your own PC laptop, with its battery charged, and with Excel loaded. The material presented in this workshop is the same for any version of Excel from 97 through 2016 and 365.
