Excel 2013/2016: Get Your Hands Dirty

This book is not for beginners. It does not teach you how to move around worksheets; neither does it teach you how to copy the contents of one cell to the other. The book assumes that you have worked with Excel for at least six months. We start by introducing you to the Ribbon and how to customize the user interface. You learn how to automate worksheet operations with macros. We take you through creating custom formats data validation worksheet outlines data consolidation error checking etc. We look at intermediate and advanced functions such as Indirect Match Find etc. and show you how to combine these functions to solve real-world problems. We discuss business models and apply statistical and financial functions. The rest of the topics we treat include using table formulas creating range names using names for formulas Date and Time functions error checking workbook/worksheet protection etc. We look at the Lookup functions (Vlookup Hlookup etc.) and the functions that can be used in lieu of the lookup functions to perform more complex lookups. Every chapter of the book contains exercises to reinforce your learning experience. We believe that practice makes perfect so at the end of the book we provide you with over 120 hands-on exercises (step-by-step answers provided). We guarantee that after going through all the exercises in the book you will be on your way to becoming an Excel expert.
