- The course is taught for Excel on Windows. If you have a Mac, I wouldn’t be able to help you if you run into problems (I’ve never worked with a Mac).
I’m Leila.
Nice to meet you.
Each month, I hop on a special video call with the Microsoft team. This is one of the perks of being a Microsoft MVP. They fill us in on all the latest features coming down the pipeline.
I love these calls and leave them as excited as a kid on their birthday.
But I also ask myself this question: “How are everyday people going to learn this?”
For years, I worked as a project manager at a multinational paper & packaging company. Excel was my #1 tool. Without it, I’d be lost. And let me tell you – I sure worked some magic at that company. Some of the Excel automations I had to create… wow, talk about beasts.
But you know the saying: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And safe to say I can now use Excel with the best of them.
