Resource: Learn Excel and Master 5 Essential Features

Excel is an essential business tool.  It's a little daunting when you first open up the program, but if you don't force yourself to learn it, you may find yourself lacking a skill that almost everybody will expect you to know.

With that in mind, I want to share a new course that my good friend, Conlan O'Rourke, just created on Skillshare's platform: "Learn Excel and Master 5 Essential Features."

Conlan's course walks through a simple project (creating a wedding guest list) to help students obtain a fundamental understanding of Excel's essential features in a low-pressure environment.

I just finished the class (quite possibly the first to do so) and my unbiased opinion is that it holds some very valuable information for anybody that's uncomfortable with Excel. 

Conlan goes over simple navigation in Excel, then dives into formatting/freezing panes, sorting and filtering data, using simple formulas, and creating pivot tables for reporting/analyzing data.

If you're interested in leveling up your Excel knowledge, check it out.
