Details

Excel Productivity Training is a training courses focused on building on your existing skills learning to develop sophisticated and automated reports that will substantially reduce the time spent working on spreadsheets.

This practical 3 day course leads delegates through a structured method of building sophisticated spreadsheet templates where the data is separated from the Excel template. The latest data will be imported automatically from external sources ensuring that the latest and most up to data is being used. This approach eliminates all the manual effort which can drastically reduce the time to produce reports and simulations thereby drastically reducing the time to transpose data into information and information into knowledge. This training will build on the skills obtained from the Basic and Advanced Excel courses.

This is a very hands-on, non-intimidating, course â€“ delegates work through various exercises under the supervision, and with the help, of the facilitator to get to grips with Excelâ€™s advanced capabilities.
