Course Outlines

Course Schedule

Course Description

The Microsoft Excel 2000 Level 3 course is designed for the Excel user who may be asked to create advanced spreadsheet applications for others to use.  Because of this assumption, there is a direct focus on security and user friendliness.  This course examines using controls such as drop down boxes and check boxes to increase the level of user friendliness and reduce the quantity of end-user errors.  Advanced functions including VLOOKUP and INDEX are explored to increase the usability of the application.  The students will learn basic macros which may be used to automate repetitive tasks.  The course also examines some of the underused, yet useful, features of Microsoft Excel 2000.  These include Named Ranges, Consolidation, and Pivot Tables.
