Microsoft Excel can do almost anything with numbers. This training can make it run on its own


Microsoft Excel can do almost anything with numbers. This training can make it run on its own

TLDR: The pair of courses go deep into Excel training for numbers-centric professionals, including how to customize and automate Excel to do statistical gruntwork all on its own.

No true professional ever really stops growing. The minute someone decides they’ve learned everything there is to learn in their field is the minute they start heading toward a rude awakening. This truth is that if you’ve stopped acquiring new skills, you’ve already started falling behind.

That doesn’t always mean seeking out the flashiest new innovation. Sometimes, advancing your career just means finally learning a skill you’ve always meant to pick up, particularly for those in tricky business of numbers. For example, if you don’t already know much beyond the basics of Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet titan has probably long been on your “I’ve been meaning to get around to that” list. 

The Excel University: Excel Automation Skills for Accounting and Finance Course Bundle ($29.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals) is like a spotlight on all of Excel’s stealthiest cool features. These are tactics that don’t just produce better results, but the ones that can save workers in stat-heavy industries like accounting and finance literally hours of time-intensive work.

Your guide to all this Excel enlightenment is Jeff Lenning, an award-winning instructor, author, and Certified Excel Expert with a stellar 4.9 out of 5 star rating on Trustpilot. After leading thousands of CPAs through all of Excel’s ins and outs over the past two decades, this pair of courses bring all of Lenning’s skills to bear on how to customize and automate Excel to handle important tasks easily while also saving loads of time.

The instruction starts with Automation Tools Course 1: Power Query and Power Pivot, a close look at these two powerful, yet too often overlooked Excel tools for grouping, distilling, and presenting data in a forceful, persuasive way. This training uses case studies that simulate real world workbooks and projects so students learn to customize an Excel dashboard, display data more efficiently, then present those findings to others.

The Excel deep dive continues in Automation Tools Course 2: Macros and VBA, where learners take their efficient uses of Excel to new heights, literally writing their own customization macros using Excel’s own proprietary coding language VBA. 

The training in the Excel University: Excel Automation Skills for Accounting and Finance Course Bundle are a more than $630 value. But right now as part of this offer, they’re less than $15 each, only $29.99.
