Overview of the webinar

If you think that Excel is all about working with numbers then think again. More and more people are turning to Excel to help them to manage list-based and tabular data.
In many cases they receive, download or import data from elsewhere and before that data can be used within their business and treated as a credible source of information, it needs to be seriously checked and cleaned - duplicate entries, non-printing characters, extra spaces and capitalization inconsistencies are all-too-often present in downloaded and imported data. In this session, you'll learn how to deal with and fix all these issues.
You'll also learn about managing list and tabular based data in terms of sorting (into different orders), applying and saving filters (that let you display only certain items) and summarizing with Pivot Tables.
