SP205 - Excel Formulas and Functions (Half-Day)

Course Description

Excel offers advanced capabilities for handling complex calculations through Mega Formulas, which combine multiple functions into a single formula for streamlined data analysis. Text functions, such as LEFT, RIGHT, MID, and CONCATENATE, enable users to manipulate and extract text-based data efficiently. Date and Time functions, like TODAY, NOW, and DATEDIF, simplify calculations involving dates and times, ensuring accurate scheduling and tracking. Information functions help users assess cell contents and manage errors effectively. Additionally, statistical functions can be used beyond traditional data analysis, such as leveraging AVERAGEIF and RANK for conditional evaluations and performance comparisons.

In this class, you’ll discover how to harness Excel’s powerful formulas and functions to perform complex calculations and streamline your data analysis. You’ll learn to build Mega Formulas that combine multiple functions, use text functions to manipulate and extract string data, and apply date and time functions for accurate scheduling. You'll also explore information functions to manage errors and evaluate cell content, and dive into statistical functions like AVERAGEIF and RANK to analyze performance and apply conditional logic.
