Microsoft Excel 2007
Fri 27th March 2009
And one of the most impressive things about Microsoft Excel 2007 is the sheer amount of work you can do on it. While it is hard to imagine a spreadsheet requiring over a million rows and 16,000 columns, this program caters to just that eventuality and other considerations are also taken into account.
For instance, when sending a file saved on Excel 2007 to a user with an older version of the product a compatibility checker will notify you of the size of the workbook and inform you what will be lost in conversion. To cope with the expanded sheets Excel's memory management has also doubled to 2GB.
But it is not just the vastness of the workbook that strikes you, it is the style. Microsoft are undergoing a dramatic aesthetic overhaul with their Office products, ditching the dull grey toolbars and uninspiring menus. The vibrant, colourful Ribbon that first made such an impact in the new version of Microsoft Word is transplanted to Excel with stunning results. It is also easier to use than the old tabs, with all the basic functions such as alignment and number format falling under the Home tab rather than being spread out elusively amongst half a dozen different tabs.
The style extends to the sheets themselves with colour-coded rows and a variety of text options, although the most exciting new development is undoubtedly SmartArt. The cumbersome, chunky and drab old charts of yore have been given a spectacular makeover and furnished with a number of new features.
There are over a 100 variations on offer in SmartArt and the cleaner, more concise Ribbon toolbar makes it much easier to format, refine and generally control your charts. A particular advantage is the ability to shade whole series of data in one click rather than laboriously creating rules for shading individual ranges one at a time

Senior CTA Anna Klimova Delivering Tough Messages Training was delivered on a high level. Thank you much:) Fresh Egg Digital Marketing
Strategy Director Duncan Heath Emotional Intelligence at Work Plutchik - I felt the trainer either wasn't fully confident explaining the wheel and how it can be used, or that the wheel was trying to establish universal patterns where only some existed. For example, I'm pretty sure that the opposite of fear is anger, or the opposite of surprise is anticipation. Overall though, the content and delivery was excellent! Betclic
Manager Dave Bland Excel Dashboards for Business Intelligence I think right at the end a showcase of some dashboards which might provide inspiration for people on the course. Most of us are confident with numbers and even more confident with Excel, but I know a few of us aren't so hot on the visual/graphic design side of things, so some examples would be excellent. |
