What you’ll learn:
1. Smarter Calculations: Making spreadsheet calculations respond automatically to different conditions and using logic to control results based on project data
2. Working With Data Tables – Pulling information from reference tables and calculating values based on matching items such as labor classes, material types, or cost codes
3. Spreadsheet Collaboration – Sharing Excel files with multiple users, understanding how changes are tracked, and best practices to avoid overwriting work
4. Protecting Your Work – Locking important cells so calculations can’t be accidentally changed, allowing users to edit only specific areas, and protecting worksheets and files
5. Linking Multiple Spreadsheets – connecting data between different Excel files, using linked files for project roll-ups and reporting
6. Visualizing Data – Creating basic charts and graphs
This is a hands-on learning class – bring your laptop (with a copy of Excel pre-loaded), a mouse, and a power cord to class.
