Overview of the webinar

Are you ready to get up to speed on the latest versions of Microsoft Excel? In this presentation Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA will show you what you can expect from the subscription-based version of Excel in Office 365 versus the traditionally licensed Excel 2019. There are many new things in Excel 2019, along with several exciting additions to Office 365, including dynamic array formulas and the XLOOKUP function.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Office 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
