Advanced Excel Training Course

£585 + VAT for most venues (£685 + VAT for London)

2 days

Excel can do so much more than simple formulae! This two-day advanced course will show you how to use VLOOKUP and MATCH/INDEX functions, create pivot tables and much, much more. The idea is that by the time you finish the course you will have seen virtually everything that Excel can offer(apart from VBA, the subject of a separate two-day Excel VBA course).

Note that the course uses Excel 2016, although if you're using Excel 2013, 2010 or even 2007 you'll still find the vast majority of this course useful (you can see what's different about Excel 2016 here).
