K2's Mastering Advanced Excel Functions
With approximately 500 functions now available in Excel, some newer and more powerful tools are easily overlooked. But, if you do that, your productivity will suffer. In this session, you will learn how to take advantage of many of Excel's more advanced features – some new and some legacy – to elevate your productivity to higher levels. In this session, you will learn about many of Excel's newer tools, including XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, SWITCH, and STOCKHISTORY. Also included in this session are discussions of advanced financial functions, such as IPMT and PPMT, and how to retrieve summarized data easily using GETPIVOTDATA and CUBEVALUE. Additionally, you will learn how to make sophisticated calculations easier with Dynamic Array formulas, harness the AGGREGATE function's power, and create more accurate forecasts with Excel's FORECAST.ETS function. Regardless of your experience working with Excel, participating in this course will help you work more efficiently and effectively in Excel.
