Participants get six hours of hands-on learning, starting with customizing Excel and utilizing toolbar features. In addition to learning how to create a worksheet and enter formulas into cells, they'll also add charts to a worksheet and learn to use Excel as a database. By the end of the training, they should have a handle on the most widely used features of this powerful program and a comprehensive manual to refer to afterward.
