Bridging the Excel Training Gap

Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Julie Stankey

Microsoft Office Excel is the most widely used Office tool in the United States.  According to a survey conducted by Xavier University’s Williams College of Business, people in a business setting use Excel 35% of the time they spend at work regardless of role.

It is clear that companies value and depend on Excel; however, very little emphasis is ever put on training Excel users.  When asked how much training they had received, 35% of respondents indicated that they had received no formal training on Excel and only 14% of respondents had received some level of advanced training. 

Socius, an Ohio Business Intelligence Software partner, can help you bridge the Excel training gap in your company. 

Later this month, we are offering a 2-hour Excel 2007 Basics training class in each of our three locations: Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland.  Following each of the Basics classes, we are offering a 6-hour Excel 2007 – Business Intelligence 101 training class during which we will teach you how to connect live business data and present the information in various forms including reports, charts, process maps, and dashboards.  Get dates, times, and costs for this training here.
