Microsoft Excel Level One

Microsoft Excel Level One

You will leave this course with the basic skills necessary to create, edit, format and manipulate spreadsheets data. No previous experience of Excel is necessary, but attendees should have a basic understanding of PCs, including familiarity with keyboard and mouse.

Course Content

• Getting Started. In this section, you’ll learn easy techniques that enable you to select Cells, groups of Cells (called Ranges), and nonadjacent cells.

• Entering data. The first steps to creating a useful worksheet is entering data. By entering data, you are inputting the information that you want Excel to display, calculate, and store.

• Creating Simple Formulas. Formulas are nothing to be intimidated by. They are mostly simple instructions to Excel to make some sort of calculation that can then be applied as often as you need it. Here, we take you through some of the basic commands.

• Revision exercises. Some simple exercises to help you practise what you have learned so far. With the tutor on hand too help when you are stuck.

• Working with Functions. Functions are simply formulas that Excel has already prepared for you. They save typing - and brainpower! We show you how to access and use them.

• Simple formatting options. We take you through some simple formatting tricks that can help make your worksheets look and perform better.

• Build you first spreadsheet. We pull together your new learning to build a simple spreadsheet. A step by step, tutor led session, using data that we supply.

Attendees may bring their own laptop, or work from one of our Surface Pros, supplied on the day

The course is delivered using our purpose-built Excel workbook, which is yours to keep.

All attendees also have free access to an online Excel helpdesk for six months, where we will be happy to provide online refreshers, or help with any issue you have.
