Microsoft Excel Foundational Skills

Navigate, Create, and Calculate Like a Pro in Microsoft Excel

This course is about building a strong foundation of skills. Whether you're a beginner in Excel, or you've taught yourself how to use it, there are a set of tools - keyboard shortcuts, best practices, and calculations - that everyone should have in their toolbelt. This course strives to set the stage for the incredible, powerful features of Excel. This course is for you if:

  • You're new to the program;
  • You want to navigate, select, and edit content like a pro;
  • Your calculations sometimes have errors in them;
  • You find yourself re-typing things; or
  • You think there are keyboard shortcuts to perform the same steps.

This course is not for you if:

  • You feel completely confident navigating, selecting, and editing content with the keyboard, instead of the mouse;
  • You understand the difference between absolute and relative references;
  • You can sort and filter information quickly and easily; and
  • You're in control of your spreadsheets' themes.
