Registered participants will be notified 24 hours in advance with information on how to log in to the Zoom meeting room and other tools needed for the workshop. Registration will close 2 hours prior to the start time in order to allow participants ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.


The Excel at Excel workshop is designed for participants who are relatively familiar with other office productivity software, for example Microsoft Word.

It introduces a range of Excel topics giving participants a taste of the potential that can be achieved with Excel. It touches briefly on everything from navigation and layout to using functions and charts. This workshop was not designed to go over any topic in extreme detail, but more as a "sampler" of topics.
