  • Basic Formulas and Functions

    Excel can help you with a lot of WFM calculations.

    One of the first things you should know, being interested in WFM, is that there is usually more than one way to do the math. In excel there is usually more than a dozen ways to do the math. It is all about keeping it simple and comprehensible. Sometimes using a formula is the answer, and sometimes it's better to use a function.
