Intermediate Excel Core Level 2

Course Overview

This Excel Core Level 2 course can be held either in the classroom or online as Live Online Learning. The outline for both formats is the same, however the classroom session offers more time with the trainer to work on exercises, ask questions and complete activities.

What you will learn

By the end of this intermediate level course, you will be able to:

• Manually create a range name to refer to a cell, for example ‘VAT’ rather than B2
• Use functions such as average, minimum and maximum to create statistical information
• Use Conditional Formatting to automatically change the look of cells depending on their value
• Create a calculation based on a condition. e.g. add a £10 bonus to all staff who have achieved results above target
• Count entries if they meet a condition. e.g. count the number of customers who live in Leeds
• Create and work on more than one worksheet and group them to make changes simultaneously
• Use the Consolidate feature to summarise multiple sheets of data. Link formulas across Worksheets
• Create a basic Pivot Table to summarise large sets of data easily
