Curriculum Overview
This course includes 12 modules, 27 lessons, and 0 hours of materials.
In this introduction, I list the topics covered in this Excel Essentials Course.
In this lesson, I delve into an update to Microsoft Excel that addresses a common issue many users face: excessively large Excel files due to unnecessary formatting. This feature, which was initially introduced in Excel for the web in September 2023, has now made its way to the desktop version, currently available for Windows users only. This new Excel tool provided by Microsoft enhances the performance of Excel files.
I walk you through how to access this tool via the Review tab. Upon activating the "Check Performance" function, Excel opens a Task Pane on the right side of the interface, listing each worksheet alongside suggested optimizations. This feature intelligently identifies ranges within worksheets that, once optimized, could significantly improve the file's performance.
Join me as I guide you through essential keyboard shortcuts to quickly select ranges in Excel. Discover the power of Ctrl, Shift, Home, End, and arrow keys to enhance your productivity. I'll share tips for navigating data efficiently, dealing with blanks, utilizing tables, and selecting large ranges with ease.
