In this workshop, we will explore the advanced functions and possibilities of Excel table calculation. We will look into what is required for working with large amounts of data and its automatic processing. During the weekend the topics of the basic workshop will be partly repeated and looked into in more detail.

You will have the opportunity to bring examples/problems from your practical work with Excel to be solved with the tools we will develop during the class.
