Step by step, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shows you many ways of automating your work via Custom Views—an often-overlooked feature in Excel. David demonstrates how to hide and unhide multiple worksheets at once, freeze or unfreeze worksheet panes on demand, store multiple print ranges/settings for a given worksheet, gain control over long lists of data by filtering instead of sorting, and more. After this course, you’ll be empowered to use Excel far more effectively.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2019. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. You’ll also discover some features only available in Office 365 but not in Excel 2019. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Office 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.
