Master Excel formulas and functions from beginner to expert, covering XLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, dynamic arrays, NPV, and data analysis.

Description

Formulas are where Excel stops being a table and becomes a tool, and this course covers them in sequence. It starts with cell references and basic math, then moves into logical and text functions, lookup formulas including XLOOKUP and INDEX MATCH, dynamic arrays, error handling, and the financial and statistical functions used in analysis.

This Course Offers

  • Excel fundamentals covering the interface, workbooks, worksheets, cell referencing including relative, absolute, and mixed, and basic operators
  • Core functions including SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, MIN, plus text functions like CONCATENATE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, FIND, and REPLACE
  • Logical functions covering IF, AND, OR, NOT, IFERROR, and IFS, plus date and time functions including DATE, TIME, NOW, TODAY, and DATEDIF
  • Lookup mastery across VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, and XLOOKUP, with lookup table creation
  • Statistical and financial functions including STDEV, VAR, AVERAGEIF, SUMIF, PMT, IPMT, PPMT, NPV, and IRR

Why We Love This Course

  1. No Excel experience is needed, so it works as a genuine starting point.
  2. It includes XLOOKUP and dynamic arrays, which many beginner courses skip entirely.
  3. Financial functions like NPV, IRR, and PMT are covered, which suits anyone doing modelling or budgeting.
  4. Charts, Pivot Charts, data validation, and drop down lists are included, so the analysis side is covered too.
