Excel Explained:
Minimize Spreadsheet Errors


Monday, April 10, 2017
2:30 PM – 4:30 PM (Eastern Time)

 

CFT Webinars are purely educational. Instructors are not permitted to sell any products or services during the presentation.

Program Content:

Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shares a variety of tricks and techniques you can use to improve the integrity of your Excel spreadsheets during this live presentation. You'll also discover methods for auditing the spreadsheets created by others.

David covers several Excel features, including hiding and protecting formulas, the Conditional Formatting feature, the Table feature, the Data Validation feature, and the Custom Views feature. In addition, he explains how to:

  • Perform dual lookups.
  • Sum disparate sections of a spreadsheet.
  • Toggle the Locked status of a worksheet cell.
  • Preserve key formulas.
  • Color-code your data, identify duplicates, and apply icons . . . and more.

David typically demonstrates techniques from the version of Excel used by the majority of attendees. This means he uses Excel 2010, 2013, or 2016 to demonstrate techniques, but his detailed handouts identify differences in Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 when needed.

His webcasts are fast-paced, and attendees often are surprised at the amount of ground he covers in a session. He welcomes participants' questions, so come ready to pick his brain. David's detailed handouts, with numbered steps, serve as reference material you can utilize going forward. He also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
