This month we bring you a couple great events on September 27th.

Introduction to Excel PowerPivot
What is Excel PowerPivot? It’s a free add-on in Excel 2010 designed by Microsoft. It adds a lot of power to Excel by extending the capabilities of PivotTable and data summarization. Having the ability to import data from multiple sources has never been easier. Designed to add and integrate large amounts of data in Excel workbooks, this wonderful tool can create remarkably dynamic reports. If rumor has it correctly, you will see this feature built into the next version of Excel. Join us for this 30 minute introduction to this incredibly powerful (and free) tool.

Access 2010: Explore the Interface
Access 2010 features a user interface with significant changes from prior versions, especially versions prior to Access 2007. Two main components of the user interface are the ribbon and the Navigation Pane which were introduced in Access 2007. In this 15 minute “lunch bite” webinar, you will learn about several of the changes that have been made to the ribbon since the prior version, as well as a good overview of the third user interface component, the Office Backstage view.
