You will also develop strong lookup skills using VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH to retrieve and combine information reliably.

Go further with protection features for cells, sheets, files, and workbooks, plus hyperlinks for quicker navigation. Learn to prepare output using page setup and headers, and master sorting and filtering with advanced filters and tables. You will create impactful visuals with charts such as column, bar, pie, scatter, sparklines, pivot charts, and pivot tables, including grouping, slicers, and timelines. Finish with consolidation, conditional formatting, data validation, dependent dropdown lists, importing live web data, inserting objects, and a wide range of keyboard shortcuts to speed up everyday work.
