Description

Here’s the truth – Excel is extremely complex and is not an easy thing to master. However, I truly believe that you can hack your way through learning it – that is, know exactly what the most important aspects in Excel are and master them one by one. That’s why I organized this course into so-called “Hacks”, so that you can focus on the most important information first and foremost.

Have you ever been confused by the sheer complexity of Excel? Ever struggled with an annoying problem that you couldn’t solve fast enough? Or maybe you’re just looking to start learning to use Excel and master it quickly…

A lot of the Excel Trainings out there throw a bunch of formulas at you and teach you how to use them. However, they neglect to tell you their practical applications and what the most important shortcuts are.

After taking this course, you will have learned the following:

  • The Excel Essentials – discover the quickest ways to navigate and manipulate data in Excel so that you can master the basics straight away
  • 20+ Quick & Killer Hacks – These are individual lectures focused on particular Excel hacks which boost your productivity & use of Excel
  • Bulls-Eye Formula Blueprint – master Excel Formulas by shifting the focus away from HOW they work to WHAT their usability is in practical scenarios
