Wanna learn all the excel spreadsheet tips and tricks – this is the workshop for you!

You’re a producer who knows their way around a budget, but:

  • You’ve got a problem excel can solve but you don’t know how to get started
  • You’re constantly flicking between multiple spreadsheets
  • Dave keeps sending you google sheets links, but you’re more confident in Excel
  • You want some fun tips and tricks to brag about*
  • Then this is the workshop for you!

Key Topics Include:

  1. “Surely there’s a formula for this!”
  • Review your knowledge of easy calculations (SUM, SUBTOTAL)
  • Pull together and organise text-based data like your multiple schedules (TEXTJOIN, CONCATENATE)
  • Reflect alternate scenarios, e.g. fixed fee vs box office split (IF/AND)
  1. Battle of the Spreadsheets: Excel vs Google Sheets
    • Confidently collaborate, share and convert across both platforms
    • Link your data between spreadsheets (integrate ticketing reports with expense trackers and other cool tricks to impress your peers).3Plus – Templates and cheat sheets to get you started

This workshop assumes a basic level of understanding working in Excel and/or Google Sheets

*Advance notice: no one else will want to listen to you brag about your spreadsheet skills.
