Pre-course requirement

You will need to be able to join this session from a PC or laptop with Excel installed to be able to participate in the training. The session is designed for people using Microsoft Excel 2016, 2019, 2021 or the Microsoft 365 Excel desktop App on a Windows PC / laptop. If you have an earlier version of Excel, are using the Microsoft 365 Web App in a browser, or are working on a Mac, you'll find that some of the features we look at either don't exist or are accessed differently. Please check the version of Excel you are running by opening Excel, click on ‘file’ and then on ‘account’ and you will see the version you are running in the right hand-side of the window.
