Excel Training

Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
Additional details

I am in need of general Excel training for ongoing projects for our Hope Lodge operations ( How to create an inventory list, spreadsheets etc)

What we have in place
  • We currently have Excel, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have ., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to provide more supplies & comforts of home for our current and future Hope Lodge guests.

Having Excel training will help immensely in the day to day operations of the Hope Lodge. Staff will be able to use excel for donations accounting, creating spreadsheets to keep track of supplies, have a better understanding of Excel formulas/ how to incorporate them, and turn data into graphics and charts for presentations.

Our mission

The American Cancer Society’s mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.

What we do

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Our Global Headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have regional and local offices throughout the country to ensure we have a presence in every community.

While most people know us for our research, we do so much more. We attack cancer from every angle. We promote healthy lifestyles to help you prevent cancer. We research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatments. We fight for lifesaving policy changes. We provide everything from emotional support to the latest cancer information for those who have been touched by cancer. And we do it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
