Does anyone know of a good online program to learn about excel and access?
Preferably one that is geared toward crime analysis but even a basic class would be great!
Keep your eye out for the Excel webinars that the IACA hosts. They’re usually fast-paced, but you get the Excel files in advance and can use them to refresh your memory.
