3-Hour Excel Automation Boot Camp: Top Ten Excel Functions, Lookup Functions (VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX), Basics of Excel Macros with an Introduction to VBA
OVERVIEW
Excel functions can
greatly enhance your ability to perform tasks in day to day activities in
Excel. While there are hundreds of functions available, there are 10 functions
that all Excel users should know. Whether you are an office worker, or a small
business owner using Excel to keep track of your finances or just the casual
user, these Excel functions can be very important time savers and enhance your
ability to create better performing spreadsheets!
Learning about the
lookup functions in Excel will allow you to match data between databases.
VLOOKUP enables you to quickly and easily look for a value down a column of
data and return a value from the same row in a different column. Perfect for
when working with large tabular data. INDEX and MATCH work in a similar way but
provide more flexibility.
You’ll learn how to
create a macro the easy way by using the built-in macro recorder. You’ll then
progress on to learn how to make simple changes to a macro using the built-in
programming language called VBA.
