This class will also demonstrate ways to simplify formulas and the use of dynamic range names. We will work the relationship of formula and various commands such as the Chart Wizard, Data Validation, Conditional Formatting and Text to Columns. We will also look at the use of mixed cell references, concatenation, and array formulas. We will also examine the uses for, and methods of, tracing formula dependents and precedents.

Among others, we will address such issues as how to count unique entries, how to find duplicates, how to create charts that automatically extend their plot range, how to sort Subtotaled lists (on their subtotals), how to handle (cleaning up) imported data, and how to flag problems.

The student is encouraged to bring function related problems to class.
