But fortunately, as with so many things, there is a small percentage of Excel's feature set that most people use, most of the time.
Because I want to level up your skills in the shortest time possible, this course is laser-focused on Excel's most useful and powerful features - the ones you'll find yourself going back to, day in and day out.
