Excel Functions — Power Tools for Your Formulas

Tue, Sept. 19 | 10:00 AM

Much of Excel’s power lies in functions you can use in formulas. But there’s a catch, computers do exactly what you say, so if you use a function incorrectly, you get the wrong answer.

This live, one-hour program will explain how functions work, how to discover the proper function for your formula, and how to use Excel features that help you build your functions with confidence that they will produce the correct result every time.

There will be plenty of time for questions, so come prepared.
