1.5 CPE Microsoft Excel is considered one of the most useful tools in the workplace. However, if Excel is used incorrectly, it can seriously drag down productivity. This course guides you through shortcuts and functions to enable you to boost your productivity and shave valuable time from repetitive tasks. You'll learn:
Selected Shortcuts
Keep your hands on your keyboard to improve your speed. This online Excel course explores 5 shortcuts that assist when writing formulas and functions. The Excel lesson includes F9, fill down and right, Ctrl+Home, row shortcuts and column shortcuts. It also follows up on a discussion from Volume 1 Chapter 6, and expands the utility of F2.
Conditional Summing Basics
Have you explored the conditional summing functions in Excel? The SUMIFS function is absolutely a game changer. This online Excel course introduces the multiple condition sum function SUMIFS. The Excel lesson works through the syntax of the function, and provides several practical examples so you can work hands-on.
Remove Duplicates
This online Excel course explores how to remove duplicate values from lists and tables. This Excel lesson demonstrates how to use the remove duplicates feature to generate a unique list of report labels.
Lookup Basics with VLOOKUP
Are you comfortable performing lookups in Excel? They are the keys that unlock significant efficiency in recurring-use workbooks. This online Excel course covers the cornerstone of all Excel lookup functions, VLOOKUP. This Excel lesson covers the function syntax, and provides numerous exercises so you can work hands-on to develop your skill.
Improve VLOOKUP with MATCH
This online Excel course demonstrates how to address a serious limitation of the VLOOKUP function. The VLOOKUP function will break when a user inserts a new column between the lookup and return columns. This Excel lesson explores the MATCH function, and illustrates how to use it to bypass this VLOOKUP limitation. We work through the syntax of the function, and provide several practical examples so you can work hands-on.
Improve VLOOKUP with TEXT and VALUE
This online Excel course addresses a serious limitation of the VLOOKUP function, the fact that equivalent values stored as different data types won't match. That is, the number 100 won't match 100 in the lookup range if stored as a text string. This lesson demonstrates how to bypass this limitation by using the TEXT and VALUE functions. We work through the syntax of the function, and provide several practical examples so you can work hands-on.
Moving Beyond VLOOKUP with INDEX
This online Excel course addresses a major limitation of the VLOOKUP function, the inability to go left. That is, the VLOOKUP function is not designed to return a value that lies to the left of the lookup column. This Excel lesson demonstrates how to bypass this limitation by using the INDEX function. We work through the syntax of the function, and provide several practical examples so you can work hands-on.

Another excellent, informative course from this instructor. I was already familiar with Vlookup, but this course introduced me to quite a few workarounds that I was not aware of. The keyboard shortcuts were also useful. There are plenty of opportunities to practice and learn through experience in the workbooks, which helped me retain the information much more than simply listening to the lecture. I highly recommend the course to anyone that wants to improve their Excel skills.
Kenneth Oliven
(Alsip Finance Director & Government .. at Village of Alsip)
Once again, Jeff Lenning is clear in presenting sometimes difficult ideas. My only suggestion is that he glides over shortcuts that he has already taught rather than saying every step of what he is doing. For example, I remember double clicking the bottom right to fill down and F9 for seeing the value, but I do not remember the F key to use when he quickly scrolls through locking down cells or which key strokes to use when filling in the whole column for cell references.

This was a fantastic course. It seems that XLOOKUP has replaced VLOOKUP now, which invalidates some of the learning here. But I still found it beneficial to understand how these operation work, and I'm sure XLOOKUP will be quicker and easier to understand now that I've learned this. Hopefully Illumeo updates their courses to include a more recent video from this guy.
Go Tanaka
(Manager, Sales Strategy at Manulife)
VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH are outdated Excel functions that are no longer being used (have been superseded by XLOOKUP). This course needs to be updated or otherwise deleted. Illumeo should also choose a different course as their sample free trial because people would assume Illumeo contents are old and outdated if VLOOKUP is the first thing they see.

Awesome course! The pace of the lectures, explanations, and doing the practice sheets was awesome! Some great tips to work around VLOOKUP shortcomings, but I am going to force myself to use INDEX MATCH more as it seems more elegant and I have done tons of VLOOKUPs. I think this is one of those courses that could be very helpful to most people.
Jeff Klein
(Director of budgeting and financial plan.. at Vss-southern theatres)
Very good course. I liked that the excel problem sets can be downloaded. Sometimes I missed seeing some of the keystrokes that are used because the cursor was off screen or the ctrl/function shortcuts were used. It took me about twice as long as the CPE hours indicated. I use excel everyday but don't use vlookups everyday.
Andy Birchett
(Print Operations Group Manager at Intuit)
Jeff knows his stuff and explains it really well. It's fast paced.I had to go in and out of it and it took a while. It's easier with an extension monitor, not a laptop. Give yourself time to figure out the differences on a mac vs. a PC. I like the worksheets as we go through and I plan to revisit and finish up.
Chuen Lam
(CFO at Timberbrook Investment Group)
This course is great. The tricks on the vlookup definitely will help to speed up my work. These are really great tips to help people to be more efficient with Excel on their daily work. The last part of the Index function is not explaining it very well. I have to re-watch the video a couple of time to get it.
tom granger
( at Washington Eductation Association)
good explanation of how a few formulas and shortcuts can be used to save time. I would give the excel courses taught by Ringstrom higher marks generally, especially since his explanations are more thorough, and because his reference materials are easier to understand / refer to over the long term.
Ezgi Ustundag
(Financial Analyst at Cisco LIFT)
Even though I considered myself proficient in lookups, I learned a ton about how to optimize my workbooks with lookup functions, particularly using the Index/Match combo. I am very glad I took the time to review this content - as I actually ended up learning a lot of new material!
Kelly Brazzell
(Manager at Intuit Inc.)
I liked the pacing of the course, it starts simple and builds to the most complex. By the time you get to the complex you feel ready for it. I had not taken an earlier course so I was lost on a few of the shortcuts that were heavily referenced, but that was a minor problem.
Anonymous

I'm not a fan of VLOOKUP, because if you state the column number and a column is added or deleted, you have to find every instance where you've referenced the table using VLOOKUP. Match/Index never has this problem, and you don't have to count how many columns there are.

Lenning does a great job of explaining what appear to be complicated functions in a relatively simple way. I'm very grateful for the "xx_answers" files as reminders of how to use these formulas when I'm still getting used to typing them out.

The course was great because it mixed in both presentation and live examples, but the added value was going through each example twice in the actual excel sheet. It helped slow down the formulas and reinforce the concepts.
