Let’s face it – Microsoft Excel is one of the many choices a project manager makes, and its usage far overruns all others, including Microsoft Project. It is the only tool that is acceptable to Finance and other peripheral functions.

Being a part of “Office”, we tend to be self-taught, and consequently, end up frustrated.

So why not learn about some useful tips and tricks through common scenarios?

The material for this class is derived from the common yet significant “use cases” and mistakes that instructors have observed in their careers.

PMI-San Francisco Bay Area Chapter brings you a rare opportunity to learn this tool hands-on from the experts at an affordable price point.

What you will learn

1. Importing and exporting data
2. Formatting data, and extracting “parts of the data”
3. Lookups
4. Conditional Arithmetic
5. Duplicates
6. Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts
7. Resources: Details and Types
8. Error Checking and Boundary Conditions
9. And much more…

Who should attend

1. Those who are self-taught; those who have been frustrated by MS Excel and never ventured beyond colors and type-faces in “Formatting”
2. Those who wish to understand more about how MS Excel handles data
3. Those who are unfamiliar with reporting project status and risks using traffic lights and weighted scorecards
4. Those who wish to know more about using MS Excel as a formidable tool in Engineering or Business Operations
