bettyandbob Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) there have been some jobs I have considered applying for where this is a requirement, but not the main aspect of the job. There are other jobs where it would be helpful. It seems entry level for what I eventually want to do requires Excel. I've come to the conclusion I need excel to get my foot further in the door than I have it now. I've found a few places that offer training online. I'm thinking about doing one of these programs. It appears you get a license for the version of excel you are using in the course for a certain period in most of these courses. There are many versions of Excel out. If you were going to pursue some kind of training in this software, what version would you pursue the training in 2007, 2010, 2013, or 2016. I want to be able to generically say I can do X, Y, Z in excel and possible demonstrate if there is some sort of interview test.

Arcadia Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) My hubby does VBA programming in Excel sometimes as part of his R&D engineering job. I would go for the 2013 version. Something like this course http://www.santaclaraadulted.org/Page/959 ETA: If you don't need a certificate, then the free microsoft excel online tutorials are good for learning Edited July 22, 2016 by Arcadia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegGuheert Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I agree with training on the 2013 version. FWIW, Microsoft offers free online training for all of the Microsoft Office products. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSmomof2 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Agree 2013 version. Also check with your library for training. Our library offers free Microsoft classes on Excel, Word, etc every month....both online and in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) You can probably find a lot of free "How Tos" and courses, online. Also, you can sign up for a Microsoft account that permits Online use of Microsoft Office Online. I think it is MicrosoftOnline.com ETA: The URL above is not the correct URL. I googled and here is the correct UR for Free Office Online Apps: https://products.office.com/en/office-online/documents-spreadsheets-presentations-office-online Edited July 22, 2016 by Lanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
