Library Survivor: Excel 2007 Formulas
Presented by Cliff Dumais from Academic Technologies
This particular class is designed to familiarize new and advanced users alike to the basic features and uses of formulas in Excel 2007. There are several new features that make creating formulas easier in Excel 2007 that will be covered. With no shortage of hands-on exercises we will create several formulas (and a few functions) using real-world scenarios. We only have an hour-and-a-half to cover a LOT of material, so please come prepared to dig right in and stay focused. PLEASE NOTE that if you are not already familiar with the basics of the new Office 2007 interface (Office button, ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, Live Preview, mini-toolbar, et al) and the new document formats (xlsx, xltx, xlsm, xltm), then PLEASE DO NOT COME to this session until you have first attended a Microsoft Office 2007 Overview or Excel 2007 Overview session as WE WILL NOT BE COVERING THESE BASIC ESSENTIALS in this training session.

Library Survivor: Excel 2007 Functions
Presented by Cliff Dumais from Academic Technologies
Functions are an integral and essential feature of Excel, and Excel 2007 offers 356 different functions including the 89 Analysis Tool Pack (ATP) functions that were previously only available as an add-in. That is a lot of functions, to be sure, and the applications for them range from financial, mathematical, statistical, to engineering as well as a host of general-purpose functions for everyday use. This session will not go over each function but will rather explore the new tools and features that make finding, understanding, and applying these functions easier. As usual there will be no shortage of hands-on examples to work through featuring many of the most commonly used and useful functions within the context of real-world scenarios. Please note that this is an advanced Excel class which carries a prerequisite of familiarity with the new user-interface, including the Office button, the ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, et al, so be aware that these features will NOT be covered in this class. It is additionally very helpful, though not absolutely essential, if users have previously attended the Excel 2007: Formulas class. Come prepared to work!
* Thursday, Dec. 3, 3:30 pm – 4:45 pm
