Tips to Help You Remain Productive When Upgrading to Excel 2007

Beginning Level Videos for Excel

Videos at the Beginning Level - 50 Best Tips for Excel

I enjoy participating in several discussion and sharing groups on LinkedIn. In one group, the question was raised, “The Ribbon – Love it or Leave it?” Many group members wrote to say that they just cannot figure out the new user interface – The Ribbon. Others expressed frustration that they were much less productive in their work as they tried to make the transition to either Excel 2007 or Excel 2010. Some said that they simply gave up and returned to using Excel 2003.

Certainly, I felt frustrated and lost when I first began to use Excel 2007. So, let me share my best tips for quickly adjusting to and mastering the commands and tools in Excel 2007 – and Excel 2010.

Topics Covered in this Video

  • The Office Button in Excel 2007 to open, save and print Excel workbooks and to change Excel Options
  • 7 Standard Tabs on the Ribbon
  • Groups of related Command Buttons
  • Launchers to open up Dialog Boxes
  • Command Buttons with Menus
  • Showing the Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon
  • Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar
  • Working with the Mini Toolbar

Use the =COUNTIF() Function to see how many badges have been claimed

A viewer wants to know how many badges have been claimed and how many have not yet been claimed. In Excel, use the =COUNTIF() Function to get the answer(s) to this question.

If you have ever struggled with using “Nested =IF() functions” you will welcome the =COUNTIF() Function – it is so much easier to use because the arguments for the function follow a logical progression.

My viewer also wanted to see the names of the guests who have claimed or who have not yet claimed their badges. To answer this request, I use a Data Filter – very easy to use and change.

Learn Excel quickly. Over 5 1/2 hours of Excel 2007 training on my DVD. Each lesson averages @ 6 minutes.

Shop for the DVDs in “The 50 Best Tips for…” series at my online bookstore.

And, the Excel 2007 interface is really quite different.

So different, that many long-time Excel users just give up on it and return to the tried and true Excel 2003 program.

This DVD is available exclusively from the SkillPath Seminars bookstore. They are offering it for sale at the introductory price of $49.95 Here is a link to the demonstration / order now page.

I am proud of this product. I know that you will gain some new insights into how to get the most out of Excel 2007. I welcome  your feedback. Please drop me a note  – danny@thecompanyrocks.com Or … add your comments below for all readers to share.
