Overview of the webinar
Excel expert David Ringstrom will show you step-by-step how to create resilient and easy-to-use budget spreadsheets in this comprehensive webcast. He explains helpful techniques, including how to streamline formula writing, preserve key formulas, separate inputs from calculations, and create both operating and cash flow budgets. He also covers a variety of Excel functions and features you can implement to easily update your budget spreadsheets.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
