Excel Level 3

Audience:

Students will benefit most from this course if they want to use Excel to perform real-world tasks such as handling and getting information from large amounts of data from sources inside out and outside of Excel, creating output that varies according to conditions, manipulating dates and text, and automating repetitive tasks.
