About this course
Excel is powerful, but only if you’ve set up your data properly. This class will dive into how to set up your information in a way that maximizes Excel’s capabilities and make your data as accessible and useful as possible.

This course is for basic Excel users - you should know how to move around a spreadsheet but don’t need extensive knowledge. This is not an Excel skills class, but provides discussion and practice in how to organize your data to use the program to greatest effect.
