Smart Formula Selection in Excel: What to Use When
Description
Excel gives you multiple ways to solve the same problem – but which formula is the right one? This course teaches a decision-based approach to function selection, helping you confidently choose between similar and competing functions. Through real-world examples and side-by-side comparisons, you’ll learn when IFS or SWITCH is cleaner than nested IFs, how SUMPRODUCT can help with complex summarizing data, how to use LET in place of defined names, and much more. Ideal for professionals who want to make smarter, faster formula choices that are easier to maintain and audit.
This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
