This course aims to cover some of the best functions and features of Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel has hundreds, if not thousands, of functions and features. This course aims to cover some of the best – that is the ones I find most useful. In “Adventures in Excel”, I cover the simple-to-use but powerful functions that I use most often: • Basic features including products and powers • Key date functions including the calculation of due dates and days past due • Generating random numbers and random dates • The new IFS functions (new to Office365) • Text functions • The most useful logical functions and IS functions • How to create a drop-down list • The new XLOOKUP function • Pivot tables
These functions are easy to use, and, unless your role is extremely specialised, they are probably the ones you’ll use 90% of the time. I hope you find the course helpful.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
