Description :

In this presentation, author and Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, will delve into the essential features of Excel that enhance collaboration and data integrity, focusing on the concept of an Audit Trail. Attendees will learn how to enable Track Changes to monitor spreadsheet edits, restore workbook sharing, and effectively review changes made by collaborators. David will also explore the Show Changes feature in Excel Online, demonstrate the use of the FORMULATEXT function for better formula management, and introduce the Inquire Add-In available in Enterprise versions of Excel to streamline data analysis and auditing processes. Join us to gain practical insights that will elevate your Excel skills and improve your workflow.

David is the author of “Microsoft Excel 365 for Dummies”, “Exploring Microsoft Excel’s Hidden Treasures”, and has written or co-authored six other books. He demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Excel for Microsoft 365. David draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2021, 2019 or 2016 during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The handouts include an Excel workbook with most of the examples he uses during his demonstrations.

Excel for Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that receives periodic feature updates. Conversely, perpetually licensed versions have year numbers in their names and do not receive any feature updates.
