Get up to speed quickly on making your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets accessible for everyone!

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a brief overview of common accessibility challenges in Excel and then jump right into practice.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create tables in Excel that are accessible using techniques like freezing column and row labels, naming cells and cell ranges to help screen reader users,
  • Work with visual space to enhance readability
  • Work with charts, graphs, and color in Excel.
  • Use the Excel Accessibility Checker to find and fix common issues.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be well on your way to creating inclusive spreadsheets that meet State and Federal accessibility standards.
