Excel Training

Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
What we have in place
  • We currently have private space for the training to take place, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a recent version of Microsoft Office, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to provide more funding to cover the costs of meals for at least 60 days for about 70 people each day.

Excel is an important part of the work we do, bot in programming and in our finance office. The training will be great for new employees!
