I have something to share with you.  It’s so powerful that when you know this, your Excel life will become much easier.   Have you struggled to use PivotTables, and functions like VLOOKUP, SUMIF, etc.? The struggle is for one reason; your data is in the wrong format.  Join this webinar to learn how to set up data in the perfect format and to learn tools to best utilize that data.

A table is a powerful feature to group your data together in Excel. Think of a table as a specific set of rows and columns in a spreadsheet. You can have multiple tables on the same sheet.

You might think that your data in an Excel spreadsheet is already in a table simply because it's in rows and columns.  However, your data isn't in a true "table" unless you've used the specific Excel data table feature.

Course Objectives:

• Learn the benefits of converting your data into a table
• Add a new row or column to your data, and the Excel table automatically updates to include the new cells.
• Automatically add filter buttons and subtotals that adapt as you filter your data.
• Give a table a name to make it easier to reference in other formulas.
• Excel Formulas are much easier to read and write when working in tables.
• Add color, banded rows, and header styles with just one click to style your data.
• Use slicers as a visual alternative to filtering
• Create a basic PivotTable and refresh based on table data changes

Why Should You Attend:

We will do a deep dive into Excel’s Table feature, which offers numerous opportunities to vastly improve the integrity of your worksheets.

The Table feature simplifies sorting and filtering lists of data, allows easy insertion or  deletion of rows and columns of data, eliminates the need to freeze worksheet panes, and provides easy to read data formats.

When rows of data are added to a table, PivotTables, Sparklines, Conditional Formatting, and other objects will automatically include the new data.  Redefining sets of data becomes obsolete.
