    • SOLVER is a more powerful tool than Goal Seek. Solver helps you find solutions to problems involving multiple variables. It also allows you to set "Constraints" (limits to what Solver can do) so the results are realistic

  • Automating common and repetitive tasks with macros (does not conver creating or editing VBA macros in this class)
  • Adding buttons, sliders, and checkboxes to a worksheet with a "user-friendly" interface for less experienced users

Rated 4.9/5 based on 18353 student reviews.

I didn't think I could learn that much from the intro class. Turned out I was wrong. A lot of stuff I didn't know about Excel, even in the intro class.
- Dean Scurries, Equinix

Very informative class and learned a lot about the basics of Excel. Pace wasn't too fast or slow so we were able to cover a lot of material but I was able to keep up. Learned a tremendous amount.
- Matthew Fields, Student

Amazing! The instructor was so helpful. Attentive to all the students different needs and learning styles. Really appreciate her detailed to attention and clear explanation and logic reasoning behind all the concepts.
- Sarah Horng, Carndinal Health

Excellent Class! Best trainer I've ever had, explained how to use excel which will help me at the office. Will recommend this class to my co-workers.
- Christopher Morales, State of California

Great. Really great teaching style. Very creative and free form, but thorough and detailed. I can't wait to turn in my first budget using the formulas and formatting I learned in this class. And this was only the Introduction!
- Aminta Steinbach, Be The Change Consulting

I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Trainer explained instructions in a way that everyone was able to follow along and understand. I really liked the idea of the hands on experience with access to a computer and being to actually work within the program. Also to be able to see exactly what the instructor was doing on her screen and not having to look up to the front of the class was very helpful and most efficient. Overall the class was educational and great.
- Jamie Kong

She was great. She taught us tips and tricks that I personally think that it will help my daily work easy since my new job requires a lot of Excel. She answers everyone's questions and very lively in class. In other words she was very entertaining that makes the learning experience easy.
- Nicole Pacheco, California Council of the Blind

I enjoyed it very much. Very informational and she kept things lively
