Jon Peltier of Peltier Technical Services has developed and conducted numerous advanced Excel modules in various venues, including the wildly successful Excel Dashboard and Visualization Bootcamps, annual Excel User Conferences, and at third-party locations.
Live Excel Training
Peltier Tech has developed a series of two-hour seminars which can be presented in one day or over a period of weeks or months. Some organizations offer these seminars to their members on a monthly basis, and attendance may even earn CPE credits. All of the training described below can be presented in-person or live over video.
The four topics covered in the two-hour sessions include Excel Formulas; Tables, Pivot Tables, and Power Pivot; An Introduction to Power Query; and Excel Charting. A fifth topic, Excel VBA, is also available. The objective is to familiarize users with a broad range of features and techniques. See Live Excel Training for details on these seminars.
Peltier Tech Power Excel Seminars
Peltier Technical Services now provides Power Excel Seminars designed to increase your skills and efficiency in Excel. These seminars are typically comprised of two sessions, each three to four hours. In the morning we cover a lot of regular Excel features, including formulas, tables, charts, and pivot tables. In the afternoon we cover some of the newer and more advanced topics, such as Power Query, Power Pivot, forecasting, and features introduced in the latest Excel versions: map charts, Dynamic Arrays, and more.
These sessions cover what a lot of people call “tips and tricks”. We prefer to call them “techniques”, a less frivolous term, because there is no trick or shortcut to Excel excellence. One must learn many varied techniques and apply them often in daily work to become truly proficient. For each session, morning and afternoon, each attendee receives a book from the Mr Excel library that contains more techniques than I could possibly cover in a day, or even a week. Attendees can use the books as a resource long after the seminar.
