Excel 2013 Level 2

Days of Training: 1

Course Description
Excel 2013 Level 2 builds on the basic concepts and skills of our Level 1 course to provide more advanced tools for analysis and presentation of complex, realistic data in Microsoft Excel 2013: how to manage complex workbooks, build more complex functions, use data analysis tools, make an impact with powerful chart and presentation features, and collaborate with other users. The three levels of our Excel 2013 courses map to the objectives of the Microsoft Office Specialist and Expert exams for Excel 2013.

Students will benefit most from this course if they want to use Excel 2013 to perform real-world tasks such as rearranging and presenting complex data. If they intend to take a Microsoft Office Specialist or Expert exam for Excel, this course will continue their preparation, but they will need to continue on to the Level 3 course, particularly to prepare for the Expert exam.

The course assumes students know how to use a computer, that they’re familiar with Microsoft Windows, and that they’ve taken the Level 1 course or have equivalent introductory experience with Excel.
