About This Course

With basic computer skills, it's likely that you are comfortable using a computer to performbasic tasks. Instead of using paper or a calculator, it's time to think about using thecomputer to store and manipulate data in electronic format.When you are manually calculating and recording data on paper, you must recalculate everytime that you add new data.

Updating data in an Excelworksheet is fast and easy. All you need to do is insert the new data and configure the sheetso that calculations are updated whenever the data changes. Storing your data in Excel alsoenables you to run reports on the data, perform calculations, print your work to share withothers, and much more. In this course, you will use Microsoft Office Excel 2010 tocreate spreadsheets and workbooks that you can use to store, manipulate, and share yourdata.You can also use this course to prepare for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS)certification exams for Microsoft Excel 2010.
