Description

In financial management, an Excel accountant with time-saving data analysis techniques is key to unlocking actionable insights and maximizing efficiency.

In this webinar, author and Excel expert David H. Ringstrom will bring to your attention numerous features and functions that fly under the radar for many Excel users. The Table feature offers tremendous automation and data integrity improvements in any version of Excel, as do dynamic array functions such as SORT, FILTER, and UNIQUE in Excel 2021 and Microsoft 365.
