How can we optimize our working in Microsoft Excel?
Our Data Source We enter data Somebody gives us the data We research and import the data
We enter data Use Data Validation Our job becomes easier!
When somebody like the HR gives us the data The data will be a copy & paste job with blank columns, rows, etc. Organize the data!
Types of files or data that you can import Text or CSV Database From another Excel File
Now what? Use formulas to perform calculations Use functions to analyze data
FORMULAS Eg. Multiplication =A2*B2 A2=Cell Address of column A and row 2 B2=Cell Address of column B and row 2 We use the cell addresses in our formulas and not the values in the cells!
FUNCTIONS CALCULATIONS Eg. Future Value (FV) INFORMATION Eg. VLOOKUP to find salary of Employee A
PIVOT TABLES AND CHARTS FOR REPORTS
CHARTS FOR PRESENTATIONS
WHAT IF ANALYSIS Goal Seek SOLVER
SOME THINGS CANNOT BE DONE WITH STANDARD FUNCTIONS, OR YOU WANT AUTOMATION MACROS
