Excel spreadsheets are often akin to the American Wild West, where users can input anything they want into any worksheet cell. Excel's Data Validation feature allows you to restrict user inputs to selected choices, but there are many nuances to the feature that often trip users up. In this session Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA covers Excel's Data Validation Feature from top to bottom so that you can spend less time policing user's inputs and more time building effective spreadsheets.
David will teach from Excel 2010, but will include instructions for Excel 2007, 2010, and 2013 were applicable. In addition to the one-hour presentation, David offers a one-hour "ask the expert" session where you can ask any questions you have about Excel, even if not specifically related to Data Validation.
