Course Description 

Lookup functions are essential to get related records from other sources. Unlike Databases, spreadsheets don't have data models that connect information. This allows you to pull up related information from another sheet (source) for faster and more precise data instead of going to a tedious manual process which also proves less accurate.

The “Table” feature of Excel allows you to have a dynamic range which automatically expands as you add data and provides flexibility to formula ranges. In addition, this course also introduces lookup and logical functions such as the popular VLOOKUP, IF, COUNTIF AND SUMIF. Data Validation will also be part of the discussion to restrict data entry inside a cell making sure that accurate information will be placed.
