| This course covers everything from the basics
of getting started with Excel all the way to up some of the more
advanced features. In class one, we cover the basics, such as
entering data, using AutoFill, basic calculations like Sum and
Average, and basic charting and graphing. In the second class,
we teach you decision making (If/Then), more advanced charting,
and even more functions - we even show you some advanced
financial calculations. In the third class, we cover advanced
functions, macro programming, workbook security, and much more.
If you want to know everything about Excel, this is the course.
PreRequisite: Windows Basics. Students should have a
good understanding of how to use Windows, and a computer in

recommend our Microsoft Word course before taking this one, as
the interface is very similar, however this is not a
