About the Course

By the end of this project, you will learn how to create a budget template in an Excel Spreadsheet by using a free version of Microsoft Office Excel. Excel is a spreadsheet that is similar in layout as accounting spreadsheets. It consists of individual cells that can be used to build functions, formulas, tables, and graphs that easily organize and analyze large amounts of information and data. While a budget helps you stay within estimated costs and expenses for either a business or a family. We will learn to create a budget both automatically and manually, step by step. By utilizing Microsoft Excel you will reduce the burden of budgeting and see increase in accuracy. It will allow you to scale budgeting and to make record keeping and tracking of expenditures easier. We will also use basic graphing for presenting budget tracking. You do not need to be an advance user of Microsoft Excel as we will show you how to use templates that are provided in the program and simple formulas to create a budget for any reason....

The instructor uses simple dialogue, that breaks down basic concepts into comprehensible understanding while visually following along. The video is outdated to the current Mircosoft Excel (I am writing this review in 2023), so there are some steps: Converting numeric data into percentages or forming pie charts, which can also be completed with a tap of a button, " Analyze Data", that displays options to display your recorded data in various visual style types. However, despite this, it is great to know, if in case one works with an older version. Similarly, I decided to work on this project to understand the basic implications of using Excel for personal budgeting strategies. Though we live in a world filled with budgeting tools, and applications ( a popular go-to of mine) there is that feeling-- understanding the full value of the purpose to a skill is a important for a life-long ; To quote the proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

If you are looking for a effecient understanding of the basic structure to Excel , I reccomend this project. It takes less than a day,and very hands on.
