We begin by learning more about AutoFill, a very powerful feature of Excel. We'll see how you can use AutoFill to create lists of the days of the week, months of the year, number series, date sequences, and more.

We'll create a calendar using AutoFill that you can print out and use to plan your day. In doing so, we'll teach you about zoom ratios, neat tricks with resizing columns, and the Format Painter.

We will also spend time learning how to make cool borders to give your spreadsheets that professional touch.

You will learn how to use the Format Cells feature to gain even more control over the look and feel of your data.

Next, we'll build a sheet to track commissions for sales reps. We'll learn a lot of techniques such as how to use the currency style, increase and decrease decimal points, and more.

We'll learn about the quick-and-dirty AutoSum feature.

We'll then show you several ways to sort data in your spreadsheets. You will learn the proper way to sort data so as not to scramble your information.

We'll teach you how to sort your data by any column in a range of cells.

You will also learn how to sort based on multiple columns (last name, then first name, for example).

After sorting, we'll spend a great deal of time building charts. We'll build a simple 2D column chart, teach you how to manipulate it, change colors, axes labels, and other features.

We'll then make a more complex 3D column chart. We'll go through more of the charting options, such as gridlines, axes labels, data labels, and so on.

We'll teach you how to create fill effects, gradients, textures, and patterns in your charts.

We'll show you how to rotate your 3D charts, and adjust elevation and perspective.

We spend a lot of time learning how to build quality charts!

After building a 3D column chart, we'll take you through creating a 3D pie chart. We'll show you how to add data labels, leader lines, and other features. You'll learn how to rotate your pie chart, separate the pie slices, and make other advanced adjustments.

This is a great course for someone who knows a little Excel, but wants to learn more... AutoFill is a very powerful timesaver. Knowing how to sort data properly is essential. Every business user should know how to create effective charts.
