I've never used Excel-where do I start?
I need to find a beginner's explaination of what Excel does, and how I can
begin to use it. My my field is commercial real estate. Specifically, I need to enter various property prices and loan perameters to see how one variable affects other values. As I am digitally challanged, any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks! PS-My computer has Microsoft Excel 2003 |

Hi Cap Rate,
The best way is to 'play' with excel. Experiment adding, subtracting, if functions, etc... Additionally, there are numerous books and websites available. Books are the best. Some math background is very useful too. from an experienced 'newbie'. "Cap Rate" wrote: I need to find a beginner's explaination of what Excel does, and how I can begin to use it.

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/Office
and look at the templates selection on the left side. Search on terms associated with your field. Hopefully there will be some free templates that you can examine and see how they are used and what formulas they use. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Cap Rate" <Cap wrote in message ...

type house price in A1, interest rate in B1, years of loan in C1 and interest paid in D1 then put 100,000 in A2, 10.00 in B2, 25 in C2 in D2 you can work out the interest by typing in =a2*(B2/100)*c2 * = multiplied by / = divided by the brackets mean do this part of the calculation first. -- robert111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ robert111's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31996 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=529073 |
