Excel can be a powerful, behind-the-scenes partner to attorneys. It can help with math, improve efficiency and consistency.
Dozens of New Jersey State Bar Association members took part in “Excel Power Tips for Legal Users” at a free, lunchtime webinar from PracticeHQ, the member benefit that provides practice management guidance.
The program offered tips on:
- how to use formulas,
- the best way to take advantage of hot buttons, like AutoSum which will add targeted cells,
- formatting strategies, such as how to make columns automatically fit the information included,
- how to insert columns and rows,
- ways to automatically insert $ and commas in large numbers,
- how to track billable hours,
- what to do with information lists that don’t have numbers, and
- how to lock a sheet so other people can’t change it.
