Excel 2021 / 365 – Level 1

Level 1 – 1 Day

This course shows you the basics of how Excel can calculate budgets and financial projections for you by teaching you how to create a small spreadsheet from the beginning of a blank page to the end of saving and printing a professional-looking document. If you’ve never used Excel before, or have only used it to fill in spreadsheets that other people have created for you, this is the course for you.  This course is also suitable for people who are new to Microsoft Office in general and are looking for someplace to start.
