Excel 2013 Level 3

Days of Training: 1

Course Description
Excel 2013 Level 3 builds on the concepts and skills of our Level 1 and Level 2 courses to provide advanced tools for solving real-world problems in Microsoft Excel 2013: lookup and decision-making functions, auditing and error-handling, array functions, date and text functions, importing and exporting, what-if-analysis, and macros. 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 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. If they intend to take a Microsoft Office Specialist or Expert exam for Excel, this course will complete their coverage of all the objectives for both exams.

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 and Level 2 courses or have equivalent introductory experience with Excel. The exercises are more detailed and complex than those in the previous levels.
