Course Description

You don't have to know everything there is to know about Excel. But, there are a few things the pros know that you'll want to know, too.

Most of these skills are easy to learn and they will enable you to use Excel in a much more powerful way.

If you use Excel regularly but you don't feel the sense of confidence and efficiency that you wish you did, this course is for you. It's designed to teach you the 23 Excel skills that will give you the biggest advantage with the least amount of effort when you use Excel.

Based on my research and experience, these 23 Excel skills are the most important and useful skills you can learn beyond the basics of creating a spreadsheet.

Most of them are easy to learn, and offer huge returns in efficiency for the small time they take to learn.

A few of them will take a little more practice, but I've included them because they can be immensely powerful in ways that many experienced Excel users don't realize.

You know how to use Excel. You've get the basics down. Now it's time to learn the 23 essential skills the Excel Pros know!

Instructor Details

Steve McDonald

Learning is easier with the right tools and instruction. In every one of my courses I take you step-by-step through the tools and knowledge you need to accomplish your goals. 

My talent is taking complex subjects (like Excel, Access and Photoshop) and making them simple to learn. I wasn't always good at technology. There was a time when I didn't even know how to correctly turn a computer on and off. But over the past 20 years I've dedicated myself to mastering technology. Now I'm proud to call myself a self-taught tech geek. 

I'm a geek who still speaks the language of normal human beings. I don't use a lot of jargon and fancy words that the average person doesn't understand.

I understand how frustrating it can be when the instructor goes too fast or leaves out critical steps in the learning process. That's why I make sure to clearly demonstrate each step for you visually, so you can follow along starting from the very beginning and going along until you've reached mastery.

I am here to guide you on your way to success. You can contact me at any step of the way for assistance. Let me know when you're struggling with a concept and I'll get right back to you to keep you moving in the right direction.

I'm always happy to help.  I believe in you, and I'm here to support you in your learning process.

I accepted a new position which required me to be at least somewhat proficient in Excel. This course allowed me to quickly progress through the information and focus on the applicable areas. It was perfect for my situation!
