Microsoft Excel - Software for All Reasons

Excel is perhaps one of the most universal and flexible of all Microsoft programs. This program has been hailed to be one of the most user-friendly, as you can use either your keyboard or mouse to perform some actions. With an integrative VBA feature, an Excel spreadsheet and its built-in functions can also be pasted conveniently onto a Word or Powerpoint application.

You can construct graphs and pie charts using the same spreadsheet information. You can also add colors to fonts or cells, as well as choose from countless attractive fonts to format your spreadsheet titles and data. Your spreadsheet can have unlimited numbers of columns and rows, and you can sort or hide data as necessary.

In fact, you can use Microsoft Excel for practically any purpose, whether you are doing your family's spending budget, or calculating your company's payroll. You can make the spreadsheets very legible and attractive, and use them for your office or classroom presentations. As a researcher or statistician, you can set up various formulas and macros for each cell or group of cells, then input raw data that you can translate into meaningful statistics.

The Need for Microsoft Excel Courses

While Microsoft Excel is quite easy to learn by using manuals and the built-in tutorial, you may miss out on many important features and finer details which you could have put to good use in your spreadsheet.

If you are not an IT professional, you may not be familiar with certain shortcut keys or tricks that could have accelerated and enhanced your work processes, such as easier ways to format your cells or control page sizes and appearances. Such knowledge can be acquired only with a very long hands-on experience in Excel, or by completing Microsoft Excel training courses.

Where to Take Microsoft Excel Courses

You can take these courses in Excel through training institutes or at your local college or university. Online Microsoft Excel courses are also offered by various independent training centers and by the Microsoft website.

In fact, these Excel courses are available at the same places that also offer training in VBA and other Microsoft applications.

You can enrol yourself as well as members of your organization to take up group courses in Excel. Each training course is usually about one to two days long. You can choose from different schedules posted on the site and take the courses at the training venues. Or you can arrange for in-house training for your company, so that your staff or co-workers don't have to leave the office premises while they take up the courses.

While you're already into the training, you may want to consider taking up a combined Excel VBA course as well.
