The world of work is a fast changing one, and it isn’t difficult to get left behind. As the job market becomes more and more competitive, and more jobs than ever before require computer skills, Microsoft Office Training UK is more valued and valuable than it has ever been. When a potential employee lists full Microsoft Office training on their CV, it immediately lets their potential employer know that they have taken the time to go the extra mile. While most of us are now familiar with basic word processing skills, increasingly, employers are seeking that little bit extra – and, in most cases, are keen to take on individuals who have sought out training in the full Microsoft Office package. Microsoft Office training can make you stand out from the crowd, and equips you with the specific skills you need to slot yourself into almost any workplace, here in the twenty-first century.

Get the Microsoft Office Training skills you need for success

Microsoft Office training will open doors for you in many, many work-related skills and abilities, that can help you get a job, a promotion, or even assist you in your everyday life. Once Excel spreadsheets are understood, and the skills needed to create and utilise them are mastered, complex tasks and calculations become simple, logical actions to be taken advantage of. PowerPoint presentations become a useful mode of expression, for presentations, reports or classes. You’ll be able to type with confidence, insert images, tables, charts and graphs with ease – your CV will grow, and it will look better than ever thanks to your newfound skills with Microsoft Word document production, too.

Microsoft Office Training UK for business success

If you’re a business looking to grow, Microsoft Office Training can help increase the skillset of your employees, increasing productivity, staff and client satisfaction, and overall professionalism and experience. Take the case of Clesse UK Limited, a technical support and distribution centre which covers the UK, Ireland and Polish markets for Clesse Industries. The group specifies, designs, manufactures, and distributes LPG regulators and associated equipment to serve customers, from LPG gas suppliers to distributors and wholesaler. They needed help with their IT skills, so they decided to undertake Microsoft Office training with John P Legge Computer Services Limited. As the business was still developing, they received full Microsoft Office training in Excel, Office, Outlook and PowerPoint, and also received specialised advice and guidance from seasoned, experienced professionals in the IT industry. This, alongside bespoke training in producing databases in Microsoft Access for their testing and service systems, helped the growing company reach new heights of success and prosperity.

It seems to us that as Microsoft update their versions i.e. 2010, 2013 and 365 that the use of colour in Excel in particular is increasing. This article is meant to give you an idea of where you can make an impact in Excel using some of these new features.

Sorting

You can now sort by cell colour or font colour. Simply go to the Data tab, Sort button and add levels choosing not values to sort by but by a type of colour.

Conditional formatting

By selecting a range of cells you can apply again cell or font colour to these based upon certain criteria e.g. greater than, between, less than or even on a formula to colour code the whole row. Home Tab, Conditional formatting button allows for this and also allows Data Bars and icon sets too!

Charts

Clearly charting by nature will be colourful but did you know that in the recent versions of Excel you can chart in at least 4 different ways:

• By using the QA (Quick Analysis button) at the bottom of your selected range is quick to choose a chart which suits
• By Using Sparklines you can create a chart in a cell
• By using the ever popular F11 key
• By using Insert Recommended Charts

Pivot Charts

Again these are simple to create and with them you get a Pivot Table too! Use the Insert Tab and Pivot Charts. Try using the new Timeline and Data slicer for ease of use for filtering your data on the Pivot Chart or Table.

One last thing for you experts or lovers of Excel; we launched this summer to good feedback our new Excel Master Class Bronze course. It’s for those who’ve attended either or both of our Intermediate or Advanced courses.
