Excel 2010 is Now Available!

We are excited to announce that LearnKey’s Excel 2010 course is now available! Excel 2010 has some great new features as well some exciting new improvements that most definitely enhance the program!

The best upgrade to Excel 2010 is the improvement Microsoft made to the performance capability by doubling the file size limit to 4GB improving sped and performance. However, this is not the only change to Excel’s latest version… many new features were included. Some of my favorites are Slicers and Sparklines and Data Bars!

Slicer and Sparklines

The slicer allows you to easily analyze data in the spreadsheet. You can also use it to create dashboards for professional, easy to read reports.

Sparklines is a new feature that allows you to create single cell charts that are helpful when you are studying trends.

Data Bars

This feature makes reading the information easier and makes the information that is displayed straightforward. You can also use data bars to illustrate negative values.

Check out this video clip featuring our Excel 2010 presenter, Michael Meskers for more information on LearnKey’s great new course!
