Is there a website that has a tutorial teaching excel shortcuts (used in banking), and powerpoint presentations (for company profiles and pitchbooks)?
google it. there are a lot of good youtube videos as well

I don't know excel or powerpoint too well - how bad is this? (Originally Posted: 07/12/2010)
Starting my BB FT analyst program soon, and I don't really know excel or powerpoint beyond the basics (very few shortcuts, none of the advanced functions etc.).
I can basically use excel as far as understanding data in there and putting in simple formulas. Powerpoint is even worse.
How much of a disadvantage is this going to be? Do many of you (students or current analysts) learn excel specifically for the job before starting or just pick things up on the job?
you'll pick it up on the job dude. i used to stress about this too before i realized that i'll be spending 80 hours a week getting better at it
just print out excel short cuts off the millions of websites. http://www.WallStreetPrep.com/blog/excel_resources.php

Download the workbook to go with the tutorials. Helped me a ton
Developing your Excel and Powerpoint skills (Originally Posted: 08/05/2010)
Hi,
I've been on the IBD desk now for a few months but I am still finding tasks on Powerpoint and Excel that should really take 1 hour actually take me a lot longer beacuse of my weak computer skills.
Does anyone know of any books, tuition courses, computer programs that I could use so that I can develop my computer skills further in spare time?
Any advice much appreciated, Thanks
Did they not train you in Excel?
Pick up a book at Borders or B&N on excel skills. Also, there are some good youtube tutorials on how to use some of excel's more powerful features.
With powerpoint, take some time to mess around to figure out how to make things look nice. The new version of ppt has some auto graphics features and a better color palette, so even if you're not all that good, it can make your presentation look pretty nice.
How long have you been using the programs for? It is a steep learning curve but the tasks get easier with every attempt.
How to get better at ecel and powerpoint? (Originally Posted: 06/12/2013)
practice. there's no shortcut.
I know a shortcut or two with Excel.
You should learn to properly spell Excel, otherwise you'll end up "ref'ing" out on all your formulas.
I knew at least one asshole was going to write that. It was a typing mistake that I didn't catch until after I posted it. Dick.
