Course overview
Microsoft Excel is the accountant's bread and butter, but with frequent updates and new features, it's easy to fall behind. From emerging AI tools to evolving formula functions, keeping up with what matters can feel overwhelming - especially when time is short and deadlines are pressing.
This course explores the latest Excel developments for 2025-26, including Copilot's AI-powered features, new in-grid experiences, and a range of powerful functions like TRIMRANGE, DETECTLANGUAGE, and the new REGEX suite. You'll also look at accessibility upgrades, dark mode customisation, and automation options like auto-refreshing PivotTables.
By the end, you'll be able to work more efficiently in Excel, take advantage of new functionality with confidence, and deliver cleaner, faster, and more professional spreadsheet work.
This course will enable you to:
- Navigate the Copilot pane and in-grid AI experiences
- Use new functions like TRIMRANGE, DETECTLANGUAGE, and simplified LAMBDA syntax
- Apply REGEXEXTRACT, REGEXREPLACE, and REGEXTEST to handle data patterns efficiently
- Enable and customise dark mode to improve focus and accessibility
