Working with formulas and functions in Excel is absolutely critical to building powerful financial and analytical worksheets and is probably the most important skill set for many Excel users. Built in to Excel are over 400 functions, a potent set of power tools that simplify certain kinds of formulas and give you a huge number of computational possibilities. Many Excel functions provide extended analytical capabilities and open the door to more efficient use of Excel, but with over 400 built-in functions, it’s no easy task to know which functions are available and which ones you might have overlooked. This session by Dennis Taylor gives you a perspective on what functions are available and explains (with extensive examples) how to use many of them, including: the IF function (with AND and OR), the powerful VLOOKUP function, selected Date, Statistical, Financial, and Mathematical functions, and the frequently overlooked Text functions, critical for cleaning up problems with downloaded data. In addition, the powerful COUNTIF/SUMIF family of functions, as well as the special-purpose Array functions and formulas are also covered.
This session presents in-depth coverage of specific formulas and functions, as well as providing attendees with the perspective they need to understand the scope and depth of these critical Excel features.
All examples will be presented within the context of Excel worksheets based on real-life examples encountered over the past 20 years of Excel consulting and teaching experience.
Numerous productivity tips, shortcuts, and accelerator tools will be presented throughout the session; the Excel workbook file, containing numerous worksheets that serve as the staging area for the demonstrated formulas and functions, will be made available to all attendees.
Session highlights:

Any Excel user who needs to go beyond the basics of using formulas or simply wants to become more comfortable and productive in using Excel formulas and functions.
