Intermediate Excel Tips & Tricks

In this skillshare, Reed will offer a quick refresher of Excel basics, and
then introduce and discuss several tools. He'll provide template
spreadsheets with dummy data to practice on.  Skills include powerful pivot
tables, colorful conditional formatting, link with lookup/Offset/Match, hop
with hyperlinks, clever charts, and fancy formulas.  Reed will also be open
to special requests, such as gathering data with Google Forms or digging
into data with the Analysis toolpak.  Please bring a computer to follow
along if possible. Expect to have a fun:)

Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org

Since 2006, we've been building this great sandbox where we can bring
progressives of all stripes together and try out new ideas in this
"Movement Moment". Spaces like this are crucial as we start to reframe and
build new visions for our movement(s).

SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share common
values but may work on different issues. We host monthly socials that allow
for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a monthly Skillshare
Series, hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which increases our individual
capacity for movement building.

With over 2300 members and 7 years of creating a diverse cross-issue
community in Boston (160+ events!), Socializing for Justice is the best
place to find the great people, organizations and community you're looking
for while putting the SOCIAL back in social justice.

YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual
orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone
like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
