This 3- Part class is designed for small business owners who feel intimidated by spreadsheets or who have only used Excel at a very basic level. We start from the ground up and focus only on what business owners actually need.

In Part 1, participants will learn how Excel is structured, how to enter and organize data, and how to turn simple lists into useful business tools. The session walks through building a basic business workbook that includes an income log, expense tracker, and vendor list. Students will learn how to format spreadsheets so they are easy to read, sort and filter data to answer real business questions, and use simple formulas to total and summarize information.

By the end of this class, participants will have a working Excel file they can continue building throughout the series and a clear understanding of how Excel can be used to track money, operations, and basic business activity.

Excel Basics - Part 2

Automating Your Business with Excel Formulas

This class focuses on moving from manual tracking to automation. Small business owners will learn how to use formulas to reduce errors, save time, and make their spreadsheets work for them.

Participants will build on the workbook created in Class 1 by adding formulas that automatically total income and expenses, categorize transactions, flag problems, and pull information from other sheets. Topics include understanding cell references, using logical formulas to create “if this, then that” rules, creating drop-down menus for consistency, and applying conditional formatting to highlight important information.

By the end of this class, participants will have an automated expense and profit tracking system that updates itself, and the skills to customize Excel for their specific business needs.
