Excel is the most widely used spreadsheet available today. It is a powerful piece of software widely used for data-analysis, finance and scientific computing. Many people use it, yet few really exploit its power. The course is aimed at helping those people who only currently use Excel as a way of storing information and for simple calculations. The overall objectives will be to help users improve their mastery of Excel. A reasonable knowledge of the spreadsheet is needed including the ability to open the program and to enter data. Topics covered will include, Charts, Pivot Tables, use of Lists, use of Names, Data Validation, Functions etc. The course could culminate in a project exploiting the things learnt. You will need your own laptop (MAC or PC). A tablet will not do. You must have a 2010 or later version of Excel.
