Excel is a productivity tool that can be used in every business, not just for accounting, but in every department. So no matter what department you work in Excel will help you be more productive (and not just at work but at home too!).

My Excel ‘FUN’damentals classes teach you the basics of Excel so you can be more productive, no matter where you work or what you do.

   3. The difference will be more apparent as you develop your Excel skills in the future to include linking worksheets and workbooks.
   4. For example, let’s say you own a business with more than one store location.  Each store can have its own workbook with sales, figures, data, etc….You can create a summary page gathering the information from the different stores into one workbook to see the totals for all the locations in one quick page.
