SUMMARY:Excel For Creatives (Save time\, reduce Eye-Roll)
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be honest: you didn’t get into the greeting card industry to spend your life staring at cells in rows and columns. But what if Excel could actually make your life easier?\n\nJoin Excel evangelist Raj Arora for a session designed specifically with Greeting Card publishers in mind. Raj is going to show you how to turn that clunky spreadsheet into a streamlined assistant that handles the “boring stuff” so you can get back to designing.\nIn this session\, you’ll discover:\n\nTables That Speak Your Language: Move beyond gibberish formulas and learn to build proper tables that actually make sense.\nVisual Spreadsheets: Master the art of handling product images in Excel to build effortless planograms and range previews.\nHidden Gems: Tricks and formulas that you didn’t know you couldn’t live without.\n\nWhether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s been “getting by” with Excel for years\, you’ll walk away with practical skills you can use immediately.\n\nBe Warned: Raj is to spreadsheets what gold foil is to 300gsm cardstock. Be prepared to witness more joy and excitement than should legally be allowed from a spreadsheet!
