Please answer the following questions:

• Is your daily work in Excel is a never-ending string of commands copy-paste?
• Are you wasting time on repetition of similar operations to prepare the data for analysis?
• Do you know all the keyboard shortcuts in Excel, but you are not satisfied with the results?
• Rather than deal with data analysis and preparation of wasting time?
• Do you have to manually verify the correctness of such data obtained from different systems?
• Do you have to stay at work after hours or Excel to take books home because not doing during the day?
• Is Your job is to prepare reports based on a large data set?
• Do you feel that working in Excel, you come to a roundabout way of results?

If you can answer YES to one of the questions then it's time stop this nightmare. This training is for you.

Find out how you can speed up your daily operations and get most out of MS Excel.
