Unleash your productivity and take control of your data! Do you manage large sets of numbers, names, dates, or other pieces of information? If so, then you need to know how to create worksheets to manage, store, organize, and even analyze this information. Excel, Microsoft’s powerful spreadsheet software, is the most widely used program for these tasks, and most workplaces want new employees to have a basic understanding of Microsoft Excel.

Introduction to Excel will introduce you to the program’s basic functions and uses. You will learn a number of shortcuts for setting up worksheets quickly and efficiently and will get tips on sorting and analyzing data. By the time you’re done, you will know how to use this important tool.

In Intermediate Excel, you will take a deeper dive into Excel’s capabilities, including learning about data analysis tools and how to create macros that allow the manipulation of data and eliminate repetitive tasks. If you use Excel regularly and want to learn more advanced functions in this powerful software, this class is for you.

These classes, taught by Ron Keeney, Professor in the Computer Science Department at Alfred State College of Technology, are scheduled for Thursdays, November 9 (Excel I) and November 16 (Excel II), from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Education Council’s Coudersport office at 5 Water Street. The cost for each class is $59 per person/ $118 for both Excel I and Excel II. Register today! Visit www.pottercountyedcouncil.org or call (814) 274-4877.
