What You’ll Learn in Excel Classes

Enter, Store and Format Data

A single MS Excel spreadsheet can be grouped with other Excel spreadsheets to form a workbook. Excel workbooks often track data over time with a worksheet to represent each month of the year, day of the week, or task. Excel spreadsheets can hold numbers, dates, times, and formulas, which can be used to calculate new data in adjacent columns.

Excel functions allow users to combine text and data into one string. For example, a row with name, date, and academic major could be combined in one column with each characteristic separated by a comma. For this reason, Excel is also an excellent tool for formatting or cleaning data before analysis. Formulas, functions, and conditional statements (ex., if this, then that) can transform raw data into a standard format.

Mathematical Calculations

Excel can perform basic mathematical functions like adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers. Mathematical functions can be programmed to use specific cells or numeric values. These features are often useful for budget management or calculating a final total.

Data Analysis

Users can enter data or connect MS Excel to an external database such as Bloomberg and Reuters to retrieve data automatically. Despite the intensive process required to program such features, information is often exchanged this way using Microsoft’s Dynamic Data Exchange. At an advanced level, Excel can be programmed to retrieve data from an external source, analyze this data, and update a spreadsheet automatically as changes occur.

Statistical Functions

Excel performs basic statistics on data including mean, average, mode, permutations, and quartiles. For research studies, Excel can also perform an analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression, and factor analysis. The program can also make forecasts and predictions based on trends and predict these changes in graphs.

Charts and Graphs

Excel users can generate basic visuals to support data analysis in Microsoft Excel. The most common types of data visualizations created in MS Excel are bar and pie charts, histograms, and line graphs. The program can generate a standalone graph for insertion in another document, or it can be inserted within the actual spreadsheet. If cell values are changed, the chart or graph will also update the data labels and the figure automatically.

Microsoft Excel can create the following types of charts:

• Pie Chart
• Histogram
• Bar Chart
• Line Chart
• Area Chart
• Scatter Chart

Why Live Online Training is Better than On-Demand Classes

There are a whole host of options for training these days including in-person training, Live Online Training, and on-demand training. While on-demand classes can be a great option for those with tricky schedules who are looking for self-paced learning, there are some clear advantages to Live Online training.

#1 Accountability

The biggest advantage of on-demand learning is also its biggest pitfall, self-paced learning. We like to think that if we are given the resources that we will be able to have the discipline to go through all the materials in a thorough way on our own, but we are human. There are more free resources available online than ever before, but we still find ourselves looking for classes, tutors, and other methods of learning. Being in a class with a teacher or other students keeps us accountable to show up every time and do the work that is required. According to one source, the eLearning abandonment rate is around 85% which means that 85% of people who start an online course do not complete it. If you want to make sure you stick with your learning plan and get the skills you need, go for Live Online training.

#2 Interactivity

Live Online training offers interactivity that on-demand classes do not, with other students as well as the instructor. In on-demand classes, you are on your own which is often not an ideal way to learn things. With Live Online training you have an instructor there virtually and other students in the class. This gives you the ability to ask questions, get feedback, and collaborate with others. The lack of instructor help may also drive elearning abandonment because people get stuck and without help give up. In Live Online training, you can ask questions, have the instructors review a topic, or get help completing the exercises.

#3 Liveliness & Community

Along with interactivity and getting help from others, Live Online classes also add a bit of liveliness that makes the class a bit more interesting. Sitting at home working on a self-paced course with a recorded instructor can be fairly boring, but with Live Online training, you get to listen to a live instructor with fresh and up-to-date material. You also get to see other students online and hear the questions they have. Live Online classes bring a sense of community to the class and students can communicate with one another and build networks.

There are many benefits to Live Online training and for many people, it can be a better alternative to on-demand training. Get lots of the benefits of in-person training from the comfort of your home and feel free to wear your pajamas.
