Full Course DetailsThis course is an advanced course and is aimed at those who use Excel regularly. It covers features and functions that tackle issues arising from complex spreadsheet models. As such, delegates will need to have the experience to provide their own context to understand the need to apply these features. This course will also benefit those people who are already using VBA to achieve some of these tasks.
Drawing on the wealth of experience from experienced spreadsheet solution developers, by the end of this course you will be able to apply the tried and tested techniques to combine Excel functions and features to produce dynamic dashboards and fully automated reporting without the need for macros/VBA.
Throughout the course the group will develop a model to consolidate all features from this (and lower level) courses. Features and techniques from the model can be applied to a broad range of solutions and considers the importance of design to ensure the model is flexible, accurate, easy to maintain and scalable.
Power Query is now a fully integrated feature of Excel. Although run as a separate course, we provide a brief introduction to Power Query within the context of the other material.
Delegates should be totally comfortable with the content of the ‘Advanced’ course and have no problems using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP or the IF function. They will often be data analysts who use Excel as a significant part of their job. Those who have attended the Advanced course should apply and consolidate what they have learnt before attending this course.
Please note that VBA programming is not covered on this course. See our VBA Programming courses.
