Excel Hacking I - Manipulate Data & Master Formatting (Beginners Intro)

via Skillshare

Overview

Are You Ready To Take Your Excel To The Next Level?

I was an Excel Rookie too at some point. I put in a lot of hours to hone my skill and I managed to be recognised as an Excel expert in the companies that I worked for. Since then, I've gone on to teach thousands of students how to master Excel in the fastest possible time.

How Did I Do This?

By taking a different approach. I don't want this to be the regular Excel course, where I take you through every single different formula and functionality. I want you to:

  • Focus on the benefit of each feature, rather than the means of getting there
  • Understand the key elements that Excel experts use 80% of the time (my so-called Excel Hacks)
  • Do this in a practical & applicable manner by following along the spreadsheets and completing them yourself

The End Result

I've differentiated the lectures between normal ones, Quick Hacks and Excel Hacks. These last 2 are designed to give you a great understanding of the must-know Excel features.

Here's what you will be able to do by the end of this class:

  • Master the very basics of Excel - formula writing, formatting cells, manipulating rows & columns
  • Using the Format Painter, Hiding & Grouping for better visibility
  • Become an expert in fundamental functionalities such as Find and Replace, Auto-Fill, Copy & Paste Special to perform operations faster & more accurately
  • Ultimate guide to Filtering, Flash-Fill, Sorting ...
  • ...and much more!
