Excel 2010 ExpertCorporate Training Materials

Module One: Getting Started

Welcome to the Excel 2010 Expert workshop. Excel includes some powerful tools to help you manipulate your data. From sharing workbooks to advanced functions and formulas, this workshop will help you become a true power user of Excel 2010.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

Benjamin Spock

Workshop Objectives

Merge Copies of a Shared Workbook

Enable or Disable Automatic Workbook Calculations

Work with PivotTable Tools

Encrypt with a Password and Restrict Permissions

Module Two: Working with Permissions and Options

This module introduces you to the Information tab on the Backstage View. You’ll learn about marking a workbook as final, which makes the workbook read-only. You’ll also learn about permissions – both encrypting the workbook with a password and restricting permissions.

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
