Students will be introduced to 6 brand-new dynamic array functions, learn how to build advanced Excel formulas, analyze data with advanced PivotTable skills, create macros to automate tasks, import, and clean data with Power Query, forecast data, and so much more!

Excel 2021 Advanced is designed to take advantage of the latest updates from Microsoft including the ‘game-changing’, LET and LAMBDA functions. These exciting functions allow students to create their own variables and even their own Excel functions. This course is designed to help students think about problem-solving differently and encourage them to think about how to combine Excel’s myriad of functions together to complete practical tasks.

Excel 2021 Advanced is designed for students who have intermediate-level knowledge of Excel and are looking to build on those skills. It’s also perfect for students with skills in an older version of Excel.

The only pre-requisites for this course are a working copy of Excel 2021 and an intermediate-level knowledge of Excel.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

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.
