Excel® can also be used as audit tool to directly generate reports from the audits done within the organization. And the Excel® use for financial statements development, financial modelling and reporting.
In a nutshell, Excel® can help us through the whole lifecycle of our projects and a day-to-day work. Additional benefit of excel can be achieved through the use of macros and VBA to extend the power of excel beyond the spreadsheet modelling and into the realm of coding and application development.
This highly participative EuroMaTech training course will address all of the major uses of Excel®.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The EuroMaTech training course on Advanced Excel aims to help participants to develop the following critical objectives:
- Gain the knowledge necessary to use Excel in their day-to-day work
- Learn how to filter and graph the data with different tools available in Excel
- Prepare the data and create advanced graphs, dashboards and Infographics
- Understand the advanced concepts of array formulas
- Acquire the knowledge of how to prepare financial statements in excel

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
This Excel training course will combine presentations with instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their individual interests. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aiming at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the formal presentation sessions. Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of case examples and case studies of issues in which he has been personally involved.
This course will be presented trough a problem-solution approach, where the delegates will be presented with a real-life problem experienced in companies and the solution of the problem with using excel will be developed for a given problem. As the delegates will be working themselves on the problem and solution they will understand the concept of how to problems are broken down into a solvable piece, and the model to present the final solution is built based on the modules that are solving the pieces.
The delegates will be “learning by doing” as the course is designed for them to use the software on the real problems and real data applying each of the techniques themselves. Delivery will be by presentation, group syndicate investigations, training e-manual and interactive seminars, as well as group discussion on the results of the exercises.
