A4 - Excel for advanced users [Mike H & Mark D]
This workshop will look at some of the advanced features of Excel and how they can be used to create interactive and dynamic resources for use in the classroom or for independent learning.
We will look at features such as conditional formatting, slider bars, buttons and option boxes, named and dynamic ranges, data validation and customization of the interface as well as including an introduction to the Macro recorder and Visual Basic for Applications.
There will be plentiful examples and a chance to work on an idea of your own.
