Excel Training

Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
Additional details

Excel training for single intermediate user.

What we have in place
  • I use the google suite for communications and video meetings.

    I have access to Microsoft Excel ver. 16.16.20
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to provide training where otherwise we would not have the option.

I regularly use excel for organizing processes, cleaning data sets for GIS mapping, and doing simple data analysis.

Our mission

To improve the social, economic, and environmental health of distressed and transitional communities by building capacity to reclaim vacant and underutilized land.

What we do

Grounded uses the process of reclaiming vacant and underutilized land as a platform for engagement, education, and building trust among communities. This "people and places" approach intentionally acknowledges that any physical interventions will need to be sustained by passionate and prepared individuals and that in order for residents to thrive in all aspects of their lives, they must find support, safety, and pride in their physical environment. Our work is often a catalyst for greater change.
