Tarrant County Business Breakfast
April 3rd, 7:30am, $8.00
Speed Networking events allow participants to get to know each other’s businesses by connecting them together through a simple format that gives each one time to explain to other members the details of their business. Most networking events provide the members thirty seconds each week to give their “elevator speech”, then a ten to fifteen minute talk every couple of months. This event is formatted so all the members are given more details than the weekly talk, but sufficient time to understand everyone’s business more thoroughly.

“I didn’t know I could do that!”
Shortcuts, new techniques, key codes — you thought Excel was amazing before. Now experience it on a whole new level.
If you’re comfortable building a worksheet, using cells, entering data and creating basic formulas this full day workshop will take you to the next level of Excel expertise. You will discover how easily you can expand your knowledge base to become a more confident, capable user while improving your productivity tenfold.
An Excel Workshop has never delivered so much practical, advanced Excel training. Complicated charts that once took hours to compile will now take only minutes to set up and assemble. You’ll learn when it makes sense to use a macro, how to debug a macro, and how to create and manage a Pivot Chart. Even the advanced linking and data exchange operations you once dreaded will become easier.
- Slash the time it takes to build your worksheets with power tips and surprising shortcuts
- Get the most out of macros and easily automate repetitive tasks
- Use Excel’s robust collaboration tools to share data across teams and work groups
- Create, manage and modify PivotTables with ease to produce sophisticated reports and data analysis
- Take your charts, graphs, tables and reports to the next level with eye-catching graphics and other design elements
- Integrate Excel with the Internet and your company’s intranet — with tools and techniques that allow you to create Internet-compatible workbooks, spreadsheets, charts and other documents
- And much, much more
Our “hands-off” training method means you won’t waste time entering data, correcting mistakes, or waiting for the entire group to catch up. Instead, you’ll learn exactly how to do it from an expert; then, try it at your leisure, in the privacy of your own office.
