Webinar Description
Considering all of the information tracked, stored and accessed by attorneys and those who support them, the powerful data management features of Excel seem a natural fit. But, unless you know how to access these tools, Excel might seem nothing more than an unneeded frustration. A strong basis in the fundamentals of Excel can mean the difference between hours and minutes when you need to get something done. In this session, we’ll look at how Excel’s two main strengths, list management and calculations can be used by lawyers and law firm staff. Excel for Lawyers and Law Firms will provide:
-
Step by step instructions on creating and repeating spreadsheet success;
-
The most effective ways to capture data and convert it to consumable information; and
-
Tools that will bring your Excel abilities to the next level.
Melissa Esquibel, Microsoft Certified Trainer, will present this program using Excel 2010 and 2013. However, most of the content will be applicable to all Excel versions and platforms.
