Our Microsoft Office Excel 2010: Advanced courseware includes all the information that you need on advanced data analysis and reporting tools.
Section One focuses on data analysis tools, including automatic outlining, grouping, and subtotaling; the Scenario Manager; add-ins; goal seek; data tables; and Solver. It also includes a discussion on using hyperlinks in Excel.
Section Two focuses solely on PivotTables. Participants will move through all of the tasks associated with a PivotTable, right from creating the table, to using contextual tabs, to analyzing and managing data, to formatting the table for easy viewing. Information on classic PivotTable frames, Slicers, and PowerPivot is also included.
Section Three focuses on PivotCharts. Participants will build on their PivotTable knowledge to create a PivotChart, pivot data, use the contextual tabs, format it, and add slicers to it. The section will conclude with lessons on using PivotCharts in everyday contexts, like analyzing scenarios.
Section Four will begin by covering financial functions (PMT and FV), logical functions (IF, IFERROR, AND, OR, NOT, FALSE, and TRUE), and VLOOKUP. A discussion on custom AutoFill lists and linking, consolidating, and combining Excel data rounds out the section and wraps up the Microsoft Office Excel 2010: Advanced course.
