Excel 2007 - Level III - Advanced Functions, Formatting, & Templates Sponsor: Selsius Express Career Training Location: Southwestern Illinois College
March 2010 Seminar
Do you want to learn more about how to use the functions in Excel to save time?
One of the most useful functions in Excel is the IF function. The IF function allows for decision making in a worksheet. Suppose that you give a bonus commission of 12% if a salesperson exceeds a threshold value, say, $100K. Rather than going through each sales figure yourself and manually checking to see if that number is greater than $100K, and if so, calculating the commissions in another column, you can use the IF function to do this for you.
Price: $195

Do you want to learn more about how to use the functions in Excel to save time?
One of the most useful functions in Excel is the IF function. The IF function allows for decision making in a worksheet. Suppose that you give a bonus commission of 12% if a salesperson exceeds a threshold value, say, $100K. Rather than going through each sales figure yourself and manually checking to see if that number is greater than $100K, and if so, calculating the commissions in another column, you can use the IF function to do this for you.

Instead of using bullets, communicate visually! New in PowerPoint 2007 is Microsoft's SmartArt. Use SmartArt to take your bulleted text from average to great by displaying the bulleted text in graphic shapes. Not only is it easier to communicate using a picture, but people remember things that have been communicated to them visually using pictures and graphics.
