Why Attend?

Though many professionals use Excel on a daily basis, Excel still has a lot of things to offer such professionals. Here, we go even deeper in many formulas and functions that professionals need to operate fast and more efficiently. We cover many areas in Pivot Tables and add an introduction to PowerPivots.
