Excel Applications for Valuation
|
|
|
More and more, appraisers are using spreadsheets
rather than financial calculators in their day-to-day work to solve complex
appraisal problems. The use of Microsoft Excel and Excel templates provide
efficiencies that assist appraisers in meeting modern appraisal market demands.
Featuring several hours of video instruction,
the focus of Excel Applications for Valuation is to increase the
participant’s level of ability in using Microsoft Excel. The program also
provides the opportunity to develop and review the Excel skills needed for the
Appraisal Institute’s advanced coursework leading to the MAI designation. The examples
and templates in the course mostly relate to general appraisers, but the Excel
skills covered may also be beneficial to residential appraisers.
A wide range of material is covered in this
course, starting with the very basics, then progressing to more advanced Excel
functionality including financial math, discounted cash flow analysis, simple
statistics, and generating charts and graphs. The course materials include some
basic Excel templates that are used for in-class examples and can also be used outside
of class in a general valuation practice.

Required and/or Recommended Equipment
Software
required: Microsoft Excel 2010 or higher. Note: The course is designed
for students to work along in an Excel workbook as they view the video
instruction. Therefore, recommended equipment includes a computer with dual
monitors, or at least a single large monitor that can be divided into two
separate windows. The need to flip back and forth between video and the Excel
templates on a small laptop monitor will increase the amount of time required
to complete the course.
