Microsoft is ending support for Office 2016 and 2019 on Oct. 10/23. The current version of Microsoft Office has been renamed Microsoft 365 to reflect its growing collection of productivity apps. In order to remain on a supported version Carleton has made Microsoft 365 available to the Carleton community early, ahead of a formal rollout in early October.  We encourage you to upgrade to Microsoft 365 by visiting the Microsoft 365 onboarding page and following the instructions.

Please note this Excel Workshop is suitable for PC (Windows) users.  It does not include an Excel for Mac component.

During this one-day, virtual workshop, participants will learn to use various tools in order to organize, protect, display and enter data, use IF and IFS functions, create linking formulas, manage links, and manage and arrange multiple workbooks and worksheets within a workbook.  You will create and modify charts to present analyzed data effectively as well as customize charts to enhance their appearance.  You will learn how to create and apply styles to format worksheets consistently and quickly, use notes and annotate worksheets, work with text boxes and create sparklines to highlight and explain data.
