Description:
In this presentation, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, delves into various ways to automate your work in Excel by way of the Custom Views feature—one of Excel’s most overlooked features. David shares how Custom Views allows you to hide and unhide multiple worksheets at once, set a print range for multiple areas of a worksheet, make a single set of data serve multiple purposes, gain control over long lists of data by filtering vs. sorting, and much more. After this webcast, you’ll be empowered to use Excel far more effectively.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the Microsoft 365 (formerly known as Office 365) version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
