Excel Templates For Mexichem
At SquareOne Training we take pride in designing Spreadsheets for our customers, so we were delighted to be asked to design a solution to track staff courses and KPI alerts. This spreadsheet was implemented in 2018, but completely changed the way the company worked and made the data not only accurate but trackable.
Dhru presented the course at a steady pace and knew his stuff. Really looking forward to using Power Query.
