Excel 365 has many exciting new features which are not included in other versions of Office (2019 and earlier). These either have been a part of Excel 365 for years, or have been added through monthly updates to the software. In this class, students will learn how to use these new features to quickly analyze and chart data, identify what is in the Excel file, collaborate and apply new formats.

Students should be familiar with how to navigate in Excel, as well as how to create charts and PivotTables.
