• Finally, we’ll look at other Excel Expert topics. We’ll fill cells based on existing data, we'll create custom conditional formatting rules, and create and manage simple VBA macros.

No prior knowledge is required. And there are 10 Practice Activities, 10 quizzes and a Practice Test to help you remember the information, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have an expanded knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
