My goal in this course is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of how to use ANY spreadsheet software.
In this course, we'll build and edit a practical, real-world example. As we work together, I'll explain WHY and HOW things work in spreadsheets, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence.
As we build our spreadsheet, we'll cover:

Data entry tips and tricks to save time and effort
Thinking ahead so you can build useful and flexible templates
Putting your spreadsheet to work with simple formulas and functions
Using spreadsheets to find solutions to real-world problems
