Hello, everybody, and welcome to week two of part two of the course. This week is going to be all about financial applications and using Excel for financial and business applications. In this short screencast, I just wanted to show you how you can customize Excel for financial applications. I know we've got an international crowd taking this course, and so I wanted to show you how you can kind of customize it to fit your particular needs. I'm over here in Excel, and actually the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go down to the Control Panel. You're not going to be able to see the little search box, but if I type into the search box in Windows, Control Panel, and I bring that up, it brings up the Control Panel. And I'm just going to go here to Clock and Region. And then, we can click on, well, if you're interested and curious, you can look around at some of these options, but you can set the time, change the time zone, add clocks for different time zones. But we're going to go ahead and click in Region, we're going to change date, time, or number formats. I'm going to click there, and it brings up this box. Now, this is what the defaults are for your particular time zone. When you set up your computer, it asks you for the time zone and your language and so on. But if you want to change that, you can always change it here. You can change the language here, you can change the formats for dates. We're going to go down here to Additional settings. So I'm going to click on that. I know in Europe, they switch the the comma and the decimal place. You might want to put a comma where a decimal goes and so on, so you can change that, you can switch this around. If you want to change the measurement system, you can do that. But there are all sorts of different options here. For currency, again, currency's used a lot in financial stuff which week two is all about. You can click on this Currency tab. You can change the default currency. Unfortunately, it only has dollars and euros. I know there are all sorts of different types of dollars, like Canadian dollar, US dollar. There's all sorts of other dollar currencies. So you can play around with this if you want. You can also change the time and date here. So that's how you can go ahead and customize a lot of the stuff in Excel. This customizes not only for Excel but all the other applications on your computer. So I'm going to go ahead and click OK. OK again. I'm going to close the Control Panel. Another way to customize, you probably learned in part one of the course how you can go up here in the Home tab and you can click on Currency. So I guess I'll go ahead and make all those currency. This is by default the setting that you selected in the Control Panel. If I want to change this to a different unit, I can click on that cell. And I'm going to go up here, and in this drop-down menu, in the Number group, I can drop this down and I can go all the way down to More Number Formats. And for accounting, let me go ahead and bring this over here. For accounting, I can change the symbol, I can change the number of decimal places. But I can also change the symbol. So this is where you have all sorts of different units of currency. So I can go in here to, for example, let's just do, I don't know, maybe you're from Nigeria. I know there's a couple learners at least in part one that were from Nigeria. We can click on that, and it changes to that currency. So this is how we can kind of tailor Excel to use currency in your particular region of the world.
