Excel 365 is equipped with robust data management and error-checking features that enhance data integrity, streamline the resolution of formula errors, and improve spreadsheet performance. This course provides detailed insights into configuring tools to prevent and resolve errors in data entry and formula creation. Data validation is a pivotal feature that confines data entry to specific types, such as items from a drop-down menu, dates, or text, to ensure consistency and accuracy. This feature also enables the implementation of input messages and error alerts to guide accurate data entry. Formulas can be a frequent source of errors in Excel. The course offers techniques to effectively identify and rectify these errors. It teaches how to interpret error messages, employ formula auditing tools to track down and correct inaccuracies, and develop a comprehensive understanding of Excel's error-checking functions. Moreover, the course delves into advanced error-checking strategies and formula evaluation techniques. It introduces the Watch Window for real-time monitoring of critical data points and formula outcomes, which removes the need for navigating between sheets. Lastly, learn how to configure formula calculation options to customize how formulas function, set error checking rules, and manage data calculations. This course aligns with the objectives of Exams MO-210: Microsoft Excel (Microsoft 365 Apps) and MO-211: Microsoft Excel Expert (Microsoft 365 Apps). Would you like hands-on practice?
