Virtual Interactive Lecturer-led Teaching (VILT)

Virtual instruction environments are designed to simulate the traditional classroom or learning experience. Instructor-led training is still the number one delivery method of choice because it allows you to interact and discuss the training material, either individually or in a group setting, and you gain access to expert knowledge from certified instructors. This form of guided learning is impactful and produces positive learning outcomes. Day, evening and Saturday classes are offered.

The qualifying learner is capable of:

Validating and sorting data in a spreadsheet.
Applying security settings to a spreadsheet.
Using a range of functions within a spreadsheet.
Using formula, mixed references and named ranges to provide solutions to a problem.
Auditing formula to ensure data integrity.
Creating and edit scenarios.

Course Content

Validating and sorting data in a spreadsheet

  • Data validation is applied to data in a spreadsheet to ensure consistency and integrity. Data
    validation includes but not limited to text length (must be limited to at least ten [10]
    characters).
  • Validated data properties are edited in accordance with user requirements.
  • Data validation is removed from data in accordance with changing spreadsheet requirements.
  • A simple data sort is performed in order to organise information for ease access. Sorting
    includes but is not limited to ascending order, descending order.
  • Data is sorted by columns to organise information in accordance with user requirement.
  • Data is sorted by months and weekdays in order to provide breakdown summaries.

  • Security settings are applied to restrict and/or limit access to information.
  • Security settings are changed in accordance with user requirements.
  • Security settings are removed in accordance with changing requirements.

Use a range of functions within a spreadsheet

  • Date and time functions are used to manipulate chronological data.
  • Mathematical functions are used to facilitate the efficiency of calculations. Mathematical
    functions include but are not limited to SumIf, RoundDown, RoundUp, Even, Odd.
  • Statistical functions are used to analyse statistics. Statistical functions include but are not
    limited to CountIf, Counta, Trend, Large, Small.
  • Financial functions are used to facilitate the efficiency of monetary calculations. Financial
    functions include but are not limited to FV, NPV, PMT, IPMT, NPER, PV, Rate.
  • Subtotalling features are inserted and removed to provide data breakdown for analyses.
    Subtotaling includes but is not limited to Individual subtotals, Nested subtotals.
  • Text functions are used to facilitate the formatting of data for reporting purposes. Text
    functions include but are not limited to Upper, Lower, Proper, Concatenate.
  • Lookup and Reference functions are used for retrieving data. Functions include but are not
    limited to Lookup VLookUp, HLookUp.
  • Logical functions are used to select and organise data. Logical functions include but are not
    limited to IF, AND, OR, NOT, TRUE, FALSE, nested IF function.
  • A mixed reference is used in a formula in order to analyse data.
  • A named range is used in a formula to select a data source or sub-source.

Use formula, mixed references and named ranges to provide solutions to a problem

  • The input to a result is found in a formula by adjusting a value.
  • Scenarios are created to demonstrate different possible outcomes.
  • Scenarios are edited to establish different outcomes.
  • A scenario summary report is created to provide an overview of the implications of the data.
  • Ranges are create and used to select specific data.
  • Named ranges in a spreadsheet are analysed in terms of their use and impact. Cells, formula,
    labels.
  • A named range is created to facilitate referencing of data. Range includes but is not limited to
    cells, formula, and labels.
  • A named range is deleted and/or edited in accordance with user requirements.
  • A named range is navigated in order to access named data.

Audit formula to ensure data integrity

  • An error in a formula is traced in order to identify the correct data to be required.
  • An error in a formula is edited to rectify data in accordance with data integrity requirements.
  • Precedent and dependent cells are traced for a selected cell in order to determine the value of
    other cells.
  • Trace precedent and dependent arrows are removed in accordance with user requirements.
  • Formulae are displayed and viewed in order to ensure that the value required is accurately
    determined in a worksheet
  • Formula are hidden from view in a worksheet to facilitate focus on overall data presented.
