Flash Fill in Excel
In 2013, Microsoft added a little known functionality called “Flash Fill.” This functionality allows you to quickly format items, based on the first one or two line items. Formatting numerous phone numbers or email addresses is no problem, but it works for any combination of items as well. Whether your data takes up two cells or twenty cells, as long as Excel understands what you are trying to do, it will format the data for your entire list, just as you want it. This is extremely handy when you are typing in data that is similar, over and over again. Cut your data entry time to nothing, without even having to use a function or formula! You are only limited by your imagination!
Take phone numbers from this: 3033334444, to this: (303) 333-4444, with very few key strokes, down through twenty line items or 10,000 line items. Emails based on a person’s first and last name, separated by a dot, and only a partial part of the company name? And your information is separated between three or four cells, spanning 56 rows? No problem!
Mission Critical Training offers Excel training that can make the application work for you.

Some of the things that make us different:
Our training classes are live and instructor led - Our instructors are in the room with you, leading the class, and are available to answer questions face-to-face. We do not use blended training or mentored learning, in which an instructor video conferences into the room or proctors eLearning.
For computer classes, we provide the computers for you to use during the class. All you need to bring is yourself. We supply the rest!
We provide hard copy training manuals so you can take notes during class, and take them with you for future reference. Many of our classes also come with a Quick Tip sheet, for quick reference of the more commonly used topics from the class.
Free retakes – need a refresher on the topics you learned in class? You can retake your class up to 6 months from your original class date you attended.
Free workshops – many of our computer classes qualify for free workshop time, where you can get instructor assistance with your own projects. Its free consulting to help you apply what you learned to your own work.
Small class sizes – we don’t believe in cramming 100+ people into a hotel conference room. All of our classrooms max out at 12 to 16 students. So you can get more individual attention.
