If you can't see the course you want listed, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.

We don't currently have any Bite-sized Conditions using =IF courses scheduled in our London training centre. We may consider adding dates - it's always worth asking.

Here are some comments we've received about our Excel training . You can see all of our 399 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"I found the day very informative and set at an appropriate level for me. Plenty of skills for me to use going forward, already shared some aspects with colleagues."
Paul Fowler
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was really helpful, very patient and managed to amend the course and requirements, as we went along."
Jennine Carpenter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"Our trainer was absolutely brilliant and was very engaging and you could see how passionate he was about excel which then made me feel more passionate about excel! He made the course :)"
Katie Clements
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Fantastic trainer and delivered the course to a very high standard, I learnt a lot from the course which will make my role much easier and quicker."

Click on one of the tabs below to see the given information about this Excel course.
The IF function is possibly one of the most overused in Excel, but it's undeniably useful:

The basis of an IF function: is something true, or false?
This course will show you to create IF formulae, how to use them with range names to make them easier to understand, and more advanced topics like nesting IF formulae.
You should only attend this course if you're already comfortable creating basic formulae in Excel.
If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.
For online training you'll need two things:
You can see full details of our online course requirements here.
For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.
For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed. This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.
If you book a place on one of our courses:
Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!
After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).
We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
