Synopsis:

At long last there is now a professional Excel course available for Mac users.

Please note that this book is only suitable for the Apple Mac version of Excel 2019. (There's also an Excel for Windows book available).

By the end of the book you'll be able to use all of the power available from the world's most powerful business tool. Your Excel skills will be greater and broader than almost all other Excel users in the workplace.  Mike Smart's revolutionary teaching method provides an entirely new, easier and better way to learn Excel 2019 for Mac. Here are just six of the many ways in which this book is unique:

• This book won't waste your time by teaching basic Excel 2019 for Mac skills that you already know. All of that material is covered already in our beginner's Excel 2019 for Mac Essential Skills book. By assuming that you are already able to use Excel 2019's basic features, far more ground can be covered.
• Every lesson is presented on two facing sheets of A4 paper (the pages are much bigger than in any other Excel book).  You can complete each self-contained lesson in a few minutes.
• Each lesson has a sample file that models a real-world business problem.
• The teaching methods used in the book were developed and refined using over fifteen years of experience teaching real students Excel skills in classroom courses. The teaching method is fun, absorbing and virtually 100% effective.
• Instruction is logically structured into sessions and lessons. While this makes the book ideal for self-instruction, you can also use it to run your own, highly effective, adult training courses. This has made Smart Method books a popular choice for schools, colleges and universities all over the world.

Advanced concepts are explained without needless technical jargon.  Everything is concisely described in a simple, no-nonsense way.  

Here is a small selection from the many advanced Excel skills you will learn:

• Visually filter data using Slicers
• Master dynamic tables and structured table references
• Enforce complex business rules using function-driven custom validations
