What we’re about
Do you love to work with Excel? Or maybe you are just looking to learn what you need to do better at work or apply for a new job. In either case, this group is for you.
Because it is impossible for any of us to know everything about Excel, this group is meant to be a space for sharing what we know with each other. In each session, we bring a guest to tell us about their best tips, tricks, techniques, and thoughts about an Excel-related topic. We are very proud of the amazing content that we have delivered to our Group Members so far.
Registration as a member has no cost, and all the sessions are FREE.
We are running two different session series to address everyone's needs.
EXCEL ESSENTIALS: focusing on essential functions and features, fundamental core concepts for data analysis, and practical tips for everyday use.
This series will offer shorter sessions delivered by Excel Trainers, Power Users, and Experts to help you build your foundational Excel skills and become a stronger and more confident Excel user.
Presentation time: about 30 minutes
Total session duration: about 60 minutes
EXCEL EXPANDED: because Excel keeps evolving and expanding in so many directions and can integrate with so many different technologies, we will continue to invite the best experts in the world to share their knowledge and best tips with us, leading us to expand our Excel skills and understanding of what Excel can do.
These sessions will follow our usual format.
Presentation time: 45-60 minutes
Total session duration: about 90 minutes
Anyone can attend any of the sessions by clicking a link provided to those who register (RSVP Yes) for the session.
Sessions are currently happening online through Microsoft Teams. There is no need to install Microsoft Teams. You can use your browser on your computer or mobile device to join the session.
We would love to hear what you have been up to with Excel. What kind of problems do you solve with it? What kind of solutions do you build with it? What are your favourite techniques, features and tools? What is your advice about best practices for working with Excel?
If you want to learn more about using Excel to your maximum potential, this group is for you. Let's all get together to connect and learn from each other.
