Webinar Highlights

In this exclusive Halloween presentation Excel instructor David H. Ringstrom, CPA will shine a light on some of the darkest corners of Excel. Watch as David helps you resurrect features that you may have thought are gone from Excel, or in other cases, confirms your suspicions.

You'll see how many users inadvertently transform even the latest version of Excel into a zombie state with disabled features by using an obsolete worksheet format. You'll also see how to avoid incorporating features that will work in Office 365 but that will turn into zombies in any other version of Excel.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don't change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
