Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
What we have in place
  • We currently have the computer and space requirements, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a management team that is ready to learn, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to dedicate these dollars towards other programmatic expenses.

We are working on efficiency Agency-wide and have a variety of strengths when it comes to IT. Excel is a tool that we would like to use more across the agency. We also have specific departments who would like to learn more advanced tools for reporting, etc. This would allow us to build a phased approach to assist all those who want to learn.
