Excel 1
Easily manipulate tables of information – contact lists, schedules, budgets, and more – for presentation and analysis. Learn to sort alphabetically, chronologically, large to small, etc.; use basic formulas to add, subtract, multiply, and divide; and format and print with headers, footers, and grid lines.
Excel 2
Perform more complex calculations in several tables. Create multi-step formulas and replicate patterns of numbers, dates, etc. without typing. Use pivot tables and functions to summarize your data (count, find average, and locate maximum and minimum values) and display your results in charts and graphs.
