If you are working with large tables of data in Excel, you can make your spreadsheet easier to read by formatting alternate rows to be shaded a different colour. There are a number of ways you can achieve this. This lesson shows you a quick and easy way to do it on Excel 2011 for Mac.
When you create a large table in Microsoft Word that spans multiple pages, you'll find on the second and subsequent pages that the table headings don't repeat. In this lesson you'll learn how to configure one or more rows of your table to repeat at the top of the page for every page on which your table appears. This lesson applies to tables in Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and Word 2011 for Mac (as well as Word 2007 for Windows).
Tables in Microsoft Word are great, but the default settings for tables are sometimes not what you want. In particular, Word will break rows with a lot of text across two pages if it needs to. If you'd rather have Word break tables up between pages so that each row is kept intact and not split across two pages, this lesson will show you how to do it. Note that this lesson covers both Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows, and Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac.
When you're working in a web team, it can be useful for everyone in the team to have access to Google Analytics for the website(s) you're working on. This lesson shows you how to configure Google Analytics so that multiple users can access one or more profiles in your account, and shows you a quick way to allow a user to access multiple profiles in the same Google Analytics account.
Excel's Pivot Table feature is an incredibly powerful tool that makes it easy to tabulate and summarise data in your spreadsheets, particularly if your data changes a lot. If you are finding yourself writing lots of formulas to summarise data in Excel (using functions such as SUMIF and COUNTIF) then Pivot Tables can save you a lot of time and work and give you insights into your data that are otherwise too hard to discover. Not only that, but they also allow you to quickly change how your data is summarised with almost no effort at all. This lesson will show you how to create a simple pivot table in Excel to summarise a set of daily sales data for a team of several sales people.
If you're getting started with Excel, creating formulas is one of the first things you should learn. In this lesson you'll learn how to create simple formulas and calculations in Excel.
When you are working with a large spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel, it's easy to find yourself scrolling down or across and losing track of where you are. This lesson explains how to freeze rows and columns (officially known as "Freeze Panes") in Excel 2010 for Windows and Excel 2011 for Mac.
Sometimes you'll find yourself working with dates in an Excel spreadsheet that have been pasted or imported into Excel from another datasource. When that happens, Excel can treat those dates as text - in other words, they look like dates but don't behave like dates. For example you can't sort by date properly. This lesson looks at several ways you can convert a date which Excel is treating as text into a proper date value in Excel.
The SUMPRODUCT function is perfect if you have two or more columns of data (e.g. Quantity Sold and Price Per Unit) and you want to find the total value of the columns multiplied together. Without the SUMPRODUCT function, you'll find yourself having to create a third column that contains a formula that multiplies each row together, and then using SUM to add up the values in the third column. This lesson shows you how to use SUMPRODUCT to do all that with just one formula.
