Excel functions can greatly enhance your ability to perform tasks in day to day activities in Excel.

Whether you are an office worker, or a small business owner using Excel to keep track of your finances or just the casual user, these Excel functions can be very important time savers and enhance your ability to create better performing spreadsheets!
