If you're happy using basic calculations and functions and need to manipulate or summarise data then this is the course for you.

It is always an advantage to have covered the topics in our Excel Advanced Level 1 course as there are many possible macro examples, but so long as you're happy with at least our Intermediate topics then you'll be fine.

• What If - Allows storing best, worst and expected values for your spreadsheet. It will even do your calculations in reverse if you know what you want the answer to be!
• Custom Views - Same data, different columns, filters and print setups are a click away
• Consolidation - Pull data from different sheets or workbooks, even if the layouts don't match exactly
• Manipulate Text - Import from database exports, find and extract relevant information
• Tables - Makes working with a block of data easier and allows fast publishing to SharePoint
• Conditional Formatting - Beyond the basic rules by using logic similar to IF
• Functions for Lists - many  functions such as VLookup and SUMIFS are made for lists
• Pivot Tables - Probably the fastest way to summarise and gain insight from large blocks of data
• Ch​arts - Secondary axis plus trend lines and all saved as a template
