In this presentation, author and Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, will guide attendees through essential techniques to streamline and enhance their Excel experience. David begins by showing how to use the F4 key to toggle between absolute and relative references, making formula adjustments quick and efficient. He’ll delve into assigning names to key input cells and demonstrate the “Create Names from Selection” feature to simplify referencing ranges. Next, David will cover the LET and UNIQUE functions, exclusive to Excel 2021 and later, to help participants make dynamic calculations and quickly filter unique values. He’ll also explore creating Excel tables, navigating with the Name Box and Go To Special, converting tables back to normal ranges, and working with SUMIF in conjunction with the spilled range operator. Additionally, David will address common pitfalls like the #SPILL! error, ensuring participants leave with practical knowledge to tackle Excel challenges confidently. Join us to elevate your Excel skills and streamline your workflow!
David is the author of “Microsoft Excel 365 for Dummies”, “Exploring Microsoft Excel’s Hidden Treasures”, and has written or co-authored six other books. He demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Excel for Microsoft 365. David draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2021, 2019 or 2016 during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The handouts include an Excel workbook with most of the examples he uses during his demonstrations.
Excel for Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that receives periodic feature updates. Conversely, perpetually licensed versions have year numbers in their names and do not receive any feature updates.
