Because, I do not teach PowerPoint as a “techie.” Rather, I am a professional speaker and trainer and I show you how to use PowerPoint as a tool to use during your presentations. Of course I show you how to create animations and how to create custom PowerPoint shows. But, significantly, I demonstrate how best to use custom animations and why you should prepare Custom PowerPoint shows. If you think you know PowerPoint, think again. I guarantee that you will learn new techniques for PowerPoint and … you will learn how to take advantage of the many great new graphic features available in PowerPoint 2007.

Calculate the Days Worked on a Project

Note: All new – and existing – Excel Video Training Lessons are now hosted on my main website. Click this link to go directly to the Excel Video Training Section.

Do you manage Projects? Do you create Project work schedules? Do you need to know how many days were actually worked on your Project?

If so, this Excel video lesson is for you. A viewer asked for my help. He did not want to use MS Project for his work schedules. Rather, he wants to know which Excel Functions to use for his Project work schedules.

In this lesson, I demonstrate how to use two functions included in the Excel “Analysis Tool-Pak”:

  • =WORKDAY()
  • =NETWORKDAYS()

Use the =TODAY() Function to Identify Past Due Invoices

Note: All new – and existing – Excel Training Videos are now hosted on my main website. Click here to go directly to the Excel Training Section.

Here is another response to a viewer request. The letter asks for my help in identifying, counting and totaling the amount of “Past Due” invoices. In the viewer’s letter, she wanted me to use the =NOW() Function. This function returns the current date and time (Hour, Minute, Second) from your computer’s system clock. The =TODAY() Function is similar, but it returns only the current date. Both the =NOW() and =TODAY() Functions are “volatile.” This means that the value that they return will automatically update according to your computer’s system clock. THis makes them excellent reference points in formulas that identify “Past Due” invoices.

In addition to using the =IF() Function to identify the invoices that are “Past Due,” I also demonstrate two other functions: =COUNTIF() to total the number of “Past Due” invoices and =SUMIF() to give me the total dollar amount that is “Past Due.” I recreate these formulas, this time, using “named cell ranges” in the formulas.

Finally, I show you a great new Filtering Feature in Excel 2007 – the ability to filter by time period e.g. “Next Week!”

Check out my new DVD, “The 50 Best Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Excel 2007.” It contains over 5 1/2 hours of training for Excel 2007. You can locate the specific tip that you want to learn – and in @ 6 minutes, you will have received all of the information that you need to become more productive in this area.

Use the Transpose Feature to Change the Orientation of Data Imported into Excel

Note: All new – and existing – Excel Training Video Lessons are now hosted on my main website. Click here to go directly to my Excel Training section.

I am working through the special requests that viewers have sent me. In this lesson, I show you how to:

  • Use Data – Get External Data – to import a simple delimited text file.
  • Use Copy – Paste Special – Transpose – to make a copy of the imported data that is now “vertically oriented.” i.e. The field entries run down the column rather than across the rows.
  • Use the Data – Text-to-Columns feature to break an “address block” (City, State, Zip Code) that is one cell into three distinct cells. This is a terrific time saver!

Now available for purchase: My DVD “The 50 Best Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Excel 2007″

Over 5 1/2 hours of training. Each video lesson focuses on one tip and averages 6 minutes.

Now available from the online store at www.thecompanyrocks.com

Use the =COUNTIF() Function to see how many badges have been claimed

Note: All new – and existing – Excel Training Videos are now hosted on my main website. Click here to go directly to my Excel Training section.

A viewer wants to know how many badges have been claimed and how many have not yet been claimed. In Excel, use the =COUNTIF() Function to get the answer(s) to this question.

If you have ever struggled with using “Nested =IF() functions” you will welcome the =COUNTIF() Function – it is so much easier to use because the arguments for the function follow a logical progression.

My viewer also wanted to see the names of the guests who have claimed or who have not yet claimed their badges. To answer this request, I use a Data Filter – very easy to use and change.

Find the Excel Video Tip that you want – quickly!

50 Best Tips fo MS Excel

New! Now available from the online store at www.thecompanyrocks.com

Do you ever have one of those “A-ha” moments? You know – those moments when everything falls into place. When everything becomes crystal clear. When you finally “get it!”

Well, here is your opportunity to experience 50  “A-ha” moments. Here is a great way for you to learn “The 50 Best TIps, Tricks, and Techniques for Microsoft Excel 2007.”

I spent almost three months filming these short Excel training videos. I worked hard to create this DVD in order to make it easy for you to learn how to remain productive at work while learning to use the new Excel 2007 interface.

And, the Excel 2007 interface is really quite different.

So different, that many long-time Excel users just give up on it and return to the tried and true Excel 2003 program.

And that is too bad. Because, Excel 2007 allows you to perform so many business tasks faster and better. But … first, you must get over “the initial learning curve” to understand how to navigate in Excel 2007.

This DVD makes it easy for you to learn how to use Microsoft Excel 2007 - guaranteed!

In selecting the 50 Best Tips for Excel 2007, I wanted to include tricks that all Excel users could put to use – now! I include tips at the Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced levels.

Each lesson is short – five to six minutes on average – and focused on just one topic. Each lesson on the DVD is self-contained – I teach you how to solve one problem per lesson.Overall, the DVD contains 5 1/2 hours of training on Excel 2007!

This DVD is available exclusively from the SkillPath Seminars bookstore. They are offering it for sale at the introductory price of $49.95 Here is a link to the demonstration / order now page.

I am proud of this product. I know that you will gain some new insights into how to get the most out of Excel 2007. I welcome  your feedback. Please drop me a note  – danny@thecompanyrocks.com Or … add your comments below for all readers to share.

Thank you for your support!
