Hi Everyone!

Hi everyone! My names James and I'm from the UK.

I've been working with Excel for around 5 years now and have used advanced functions such as VBA and Macros in the past.

However, because of the lack of contact I've had with Excel over the last year or two I have forgotten a lot of it so I am starting out again as a beginner.

I've just recently been employed at my first job after finishing university and I use Excel to manually input data from various sources. I use Pivot tables to summarize this data so if anyone is kind enough to give me any useful tips on making my Pivot tables better or to speed up my data entry (if possible) it would be really appreciated.

Also, I have set a goal for myself to achieve the MS Excel 2013 Expert certificate in around 15 months. Is this possible? If anyone has any useful tips on the most useful functions to learn for the exam it would be great.

Thanks!!
