Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise
Calculate Time Spans and Averages
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
In
this demo in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series Peter Kalmstrom
uses an employee register as an example.
He shows how to create a formula that calculates how long
the employee has been with the company and he gets other
information by using the Totals average function.
To filter data by gender and martial statusi Peter adds
two slicers.
Finally he creates a pivot table that shows the marital
status of the employees and visualizes the result in a pie
chart that shows percentage.
