Well, my boss asked me to put together an excel training class for our office and this is what I've come up with so far.
Do any of y'all have any suggestions about what else I might what to cover, or regarding my classification for some tasks as "beginner" vs. "intermediate"? I'm running out of ideas that don't involve macros, and I don't really think much about excel qualifies as "intermediate".
