Overview of the webinar

In this session, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, shows you step-by-step how to create dynamic accounting reports for any month of the year on just one worksheet. While Excel users often build worksheets for each month of the year, such worksheets can be cumbersome to revise. As an alternative, David explains how to use Excel functions, including VLOOKUP, OFFSET, and SUM, to quickly create accounting reports that allow you to switch to any reporting period with only two mouse clicks. He also outlines how to export data from your accounting package, improve the integrity of your spreadsheets, incorporate Check Figures and Alarms into you work, and more.
