Excel - how can I practice formulas on financial questions?
 

Having just taken and failed my Excel exam, I need help to practice doing
financial questions - as in how much percentage increase between one figure
and another etc?

I had used an Excel practice test at my class and thought I was doing great
- HA! but in the exam I was completely thrown by a few questions on increased
percentage rate. Are there any on line trial questions to get me familiar
with this sort of thing?

All help greatly received.

Excel - how can I practice formulas on financial questions?
 

Now that my course has finished, I feel I am on my own, he is now teaching
another group. The practice test I'd been using only concentrated on the PMT
function etc and I was totally lost at the exam when I just didn't know where
to begin to answer the question on percentage increase etc - time being of
the essence - I had to skip the question and ran out of time to go back and
look at it closely. There were 3/4 questions in the same vein and I just
skipped the lot rather than waste time - no small wonder I failed eh? I have
discovered some Microsoft Excel training on line and am currently going
through that.

Thanks for the reply

Sorry to be so long in replying, I didn't know your question was there.

Have a look at the above site - there are others along the same line so
browse through.
