Course author Guy Vaccaro has more than 15 years' experience with Excel and Office Suite training in classroom, manual writing, and computer-based formats. With a focus on Microsoft Office Suite, Vaccaro is especially accomplished in Excel and its uses in web and database functionality.
Following a brief overview of the basics of using functions and formulas, looking at sum and count syntax, referencing, and other fundamentals, Vaccaro prepares students for advanced topics by setting the stage with lessons on naming cells, 3D referencing, and full absolute referencing.
The course then dives in to advanced topics, exploring "If" statements, nested "if" statements; as well as more complex topics like using "and," "or," and "not" functions within "if" statements.
Vaccaro continues by explaining lookup and reference type functions, teaching how to use VLookup, HLookup, nested Lookup functions, and other advanced retrieval operations, before moving into mathematical functions, such as MRound functions, and random numbers, among other topics.
In its closing chapters, the course explores functions and formulas that can be applied to text values and strings, how to work with with date and time in functions, and learning advanced information and referencing functions, before wrapping up with an introduction to array functions and formulas.
"There is a vast amount of capability under the hood of Excel," Vaccaro says. "We'll start with a review of the basics and then turn up the gears and make things more advanced."
