Overview of the webinar

Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, covers six worksheet functions available for summing data in Excel: SUM, SUBTOTAL, AGGREGATE, SUMIF, SUMIFS, and SUMPRODUCT. You’ll learn the pros, cons, and limitations of each type of worksheet function, along with suggested uses for each. In addition, David shows you how to create more flexible formulas using the INDIRECT and OFFSET functions, and how to verify sums and totals quickly and easily.

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.
