What this course is about
How to make a spreadsheet point out problems by itself and keep errors out: highlighting deadlines and duplicates, color scales, drop-down lists, input validation and sheet protection.
In a big spreadsheet you can't spot a problem by eye: an expiring contract gets lost among a hundred rows, a duplicate number turns up only when the report is due, and someone has typed “TBD” in the Amount column. Conditional formatting and data validation solve this once and for all; you just need to set up the rules correctly. This course shows how to get exact rule formulas {AI_WITH} and how to check that they work.
