Excel for Financial Professionals

Finance teams still run most reconciliations, reports and analyses in spreadsheets, so speed and accuracy in Excel translate directly into better month-ends and fewer errors. «Excel for Financial Professionals» focuses on the functions and tools finance staff use most: lookup and dynamic array functions, conditional logic, date and financial functions such as XNPV and XIRR, PivotTables, Power Query for cleaning and combining ledger extracts, Power Pivot data models, scenario tools and dashboard charts, plus spreadsheet controls that make files reviewable.
