MS Excel Conditional Tools: IF functions, Data Validation, (VIRTUAL)
2023-12-20 09:30 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | IL

Add power and complexity to your Excel spreadsheets! In this 90-minute webinar we’ll talk about about one of the most powerful functions in Excel – the IF function. We’ll also talk about other logical functions like AND/OR as well as functions like SUMIF and AVERAGEIF. Many tools in Excel are condition-based. So what is a condition??? We’ll look at several areas of Excel that serve different purposes, but use the same underlying concept of condition. Understanding how conditions are used in Excel not only extends your knowledge of different tools in Excel, but adds to your overall understanding of Excel.
