Certificate Highlights
Why get an Excel Certification for Professional Applications?
I’m a CPA and Microsoft Certified Trainer, and I love sharing the things I’ve learned about excel over the years, especially the things that help us “number crunchers” save time and get our work done faster.
And that is exactly what we’ll cover in this Excel certification program. We’ll talk about the Excel features, functions, and techniques that help us work more efficiently.
This Excel certification program has over 70 lecture videos, and over 200 hands-on exercises so you can practice the skills presented.
At a summary level, the Excel for Professional Applications Certification program begins by building a rock solid foundation that you can use to create bulletproof recurring-use workbooks. Then, we dig into formula-based reports, and use functions like VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, SUMIF, EOMONTH and more. In all, we cover over 25 worksheet functions. Then, we learn how to replace formula-based reports with PivotTables whenever possible. We wrap up by learning how to use the Get External Data command to retrieve data from external sources, and some basic data visualization features such as PivotCharts and Sparklines.
Listen, Excel is my favorite application of all time and I love helping people use it more effectively. So, if you think that Excel can do more, or you know there’s gotta be a faster way of doing things but don’t have time to figure it out, I’d like to invite you to take this Excel certification program. Excel has been my secret weapon for years, and I hope it can be yours as well!
