The Power of IF on HR and Payroll Data If only I could do that. How many times have you said it? With knowledge, you can! During this session, the power of the IF Statement will be illustrated in finding duplicate data, in conjunction with other functions such as Subtotal, and nested IFs. We will also cover function numbers in Subtotal, and using Subtotal in combination with Data Filter. Time permitting, we will delve into the power of Conditional Formatting for revealing and highlighting data characteristics based on logical criteria. All illustrations are with typical payroll data. If you know, it's easy! If you don't, it's hard! About the Presenter: Richard Saint-Amant Recruiting Manager, Supplemental Health Care, Boston About Supplemental Health Care Genesys is also delighted to announce its keynote presenter for this year's Symposium - William Maxwell, professional lecturer and senior training specialist for the Muskie School of Public Service in Portland/Augusta, Maine, will present the session "The DRS Cure for Professional Stress." Join us for this energizing, powerful and entertaining keynote session beginning at 8:00 am on Monday, September 17th. Maxwell is such an energetic speaker and great thought leader that many people leave his talks feeling informed and inspired. The DRS Cure for Professional Stress The DRS Cure for Professional Stress concentrates on personal management strategies that help make our professional lives more enjoyable and productive. Using a humorous yet focused style, the session promotes an understanding of the positive power of self-responsibility when it comes to stress. The DRS Cure reminds participants that our ability to help others depends on being healthy ourselves. The session suggests we can get to a more agreeable place at work, a place "between anxiety and boredom." By being more intentional about how we organize and present ourselves, we can change how we feel at work. By reframing our experiences, we can create more confidence by increasing our sense of control.
