Description

Financial reporting is often rife with repetitive tasks and carries the risk of misstated numbers. In this webcast, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, will show you ways to create and utilize financial reporting templates, both as workbooks and worksheets, that you can use as clean slates. You’ll also see how to create financial reports from a general ledger report by way of using pivot tables. You can then filter the pivot table with both the Slicer and Timeline features. Each month you’ll simply save over the existing general ledger report and your spreadsheet-based reports will update automatically. David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) version of Excel.

David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast. Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new-feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don’t change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.
