All
courses run for six weeks, with a two-week grace period at the end. Two
lessons are released each week for the six-week duration of the course.
You do not have to be present when the lesson is released, but you must
complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
A new
section of each course starts on the second or third Wednesday of each
month. If enrolling in a series of two or more courses, please be sure
to space the start date for each course at least two months apart.
| Week One |
| Wednesday - Lesson 01 |
In
our first lesson, you'll develop a solid understanding of the Excel
interface. You'll become fluent in the secret language spoken only by
Excel users, you'll discover the best way to correct just about any
mistake you might make in Excel, and you'll find yourself gliding
effortlessly from cell to cell, leaving behind expertly written labels,
numbers, and formulas.
|
| Friday - Lesson 02 |
In
this lesson, you'll learn five simple steps you should always follow to
ensure that your worksheets are always well-planned, well-constructed,
and beautifully formatted.
|
| Week Two |
| Wednesday - Lesson 03 |
Our
third lesson will teach you the tricks of the Excel masters: a wide
variety of useful shortcuts guaranteed to save you time, energy, and
frustration. We'll also cover the art of file management in this
lesson, so you'll have no trouble saving, retrieving, printing, and
emailing your worksheets, or copying, renaming, and even deleting
files. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll really start to feel
like an Excel pro.
|
| Friday - Lesson 04 |
Do
you know the difference between a relative reference, an absolute
reference, and a circular reference? You will after this lesson. Today,
we focus on writing sophisticated formulas that can help ease us
through some rather sticky scenarios.
|
| Week Three |
| Wednesday - Lesson 05 |
With
enough practice, most Excel users quickly become adept at organizing
their worksheets across two dimensions: rows and columns. But only a
select few will learn how to take their worksheets into the third
dimension. Today, you will join that exclusive group. Prepare to have
your socks knocked off as you gain hands-on experience in the
construction of three-dimensional workbooks.
|
| Friday - Lesson 06 |
No
Excel course would be complete without a discussion of Excel's amazing
data-crunching capabilities. Today, you'll not only learn how to build
a database in Excel, you'll also learn how to subtotal, sort, and
filter.
|
| Week Four |
| Wednesday - Lesson 07 |
In
this lesson and the next, we'll explore the exciting world of charts.
You'll build your first graph today, and you'll learn how easy it is to
adjust the chart type, labels, titles, colors, and many other aspects
of your chart.
|
| Friday - Lesson 08 |
Today,
we'll dig deep into Excel's charting capabilities. You'll explore
everything from bar charts and line charts to more prosaic graphs like
the pie chart, the bubble chart, and 3-D charts. You'll find out how to
personalize your charts with photographs, text labels, and drawings,
and you'll discover the best ways to print or otherwise display the
truly impressive charts that you'll be creating.
|
| Week Five |
| Wednesday - Lesson 09 |
Excel
includes many powerful functions that can automatically perform some
very complicated tasks for you. In today's lesson, you'll learn some
very interesting ways to put these functions to work for you. You'll
find out how to ask Excel to magically derive averages, modes,
maximums, minimums, and other useful statistics from nothing more than
a column or two of numbers.
|
| Friday - Lesson 10 |
We'll
continue our exploration of Excel functions with an in-depth look at
Excel's handy financial functions today. By the time this lesson is
over, you'll be able to figure out how much money you'll have when you
retire, when your kids reach college, or just before your next
vacation. You'll be able to calculate the monthly payment on just about
any type of loan, and you'll know how to figure out how long it will
take to pay off your credit cards. You'll even create an amortization
table of your very own, just like the one lenders use to track a loan's
payoff amount over time.
|
| Week Six |
| Wednesday - Lesson 11 |
Students
often rank this lesson as one of their favorites. Today, you'll find
out how to automate just about any task you find tedious or
time-consuming. You'll discover how to move your most frequently used
commands from their present, obscure locations to a much more
convenient place: the toolbar that's always perched at the very top of
your screen. You'll also learn how macros can be used to reduce just
about any complex task to a single keystroke.
|
| Friday - Lesson 12 |
I
think you'll be intrigued by our final lesson, in which you'll teach
Excel not only how to make decisions, but also how to act upon those
decisions. We'll use a special function in Excel that allows it to make
comparisons and use that comparison as the basis for important
decisions.
