About the course

Excel is an electronic spreadsheet capable of organising, analysing and presenting data. The basic concept is the same as using a paper spreadsheet with a built-in calculator. The advanced features of Excel allow you to manipulate the data easily and then to graphically present it in a number of attractive formats.

The "Excel 2013 Formulas and Functions" course will show you how to use formulas and functions in Excel including Informational, Logical, Financial, Text functions, data tables and using named ranges.

Together with our other Excel 2013 courses, this course also supports the background learning for the Microsoft Office Specialist 77-420 exam.
