Microsoft Excel 1

“What’s going on?” is a question often asked by Excel users. To find the answer, an

understanding of cell contents, cell formats, and cell references (relative, absolute,

mixed) is crucial. In addition, it’s important to understand the “language of Excel” so that

formulas and functions can easily be written to accomplish everyday tasks. Try it…you’ll

like it!

Microsoft Excel 2

Did you know that a cell or range of cells can have more than one name? Do you work

with data “records” that are arranged in columns and rows? If so, come learn the

advantages of formatting your data as a table. This session will also cover useful functions

and introduce you to the basics of creating and modifying charts. Try it…you’ll like it!

October 22, 2019 9:00 -12:00



Microsoft Excel 3

Excel includes many useful “database” functions for getting the answers you need out of

data—or simply creating a PivotTable may be the way to go. There are “What-If” tools

that allow you to compare one scenario to another without compromising existing data.

So cool! Is there a task that you perform over and over? If so, you may consider creating

a macro so that it can be done with a single click! This session will surely get your wheels

turning! Try it…you’ll like it!
