Go, Excel, Go!!


During these past few weeks we have been working mainly on the program: Microsoft Office Excel. Before this class I had a very good understanding of how to work in Excel. I am a big fan of this program. Even though I had some problems working with Excel I learned to work around it.


What I mainly learned from this class were different functions like the IF function. Even though I don't think I will use it any time soon, I didn't know Excel had that type of help in the functions section. Another aspect I learned was the conditional formatting. This tool really helps to visualize data you are trying to find in a large table.


Excel can become a really important program especially if you are in a class that involves stats, graphs, etc. Excel makes this hard processes of making columns or scatter plots of tables that can be 50x50 so much easier! Personally I have already worked with Excel on many of my classes, especially laboratories where most of the data needs to be visualized so that in this way better conclusions can be drawn out of the experiment.
Excel might be the most useful for businesses because you can just apply function and make cell references. When the economy changes, or when a different situation in your company occurs, you can just change one small detail on the Excel program and this will go out making a cascade of correction.


Excel is a very helpful tool for anybody and I highly recommend for anybody. You can even organize your information using the sorting button.


Thanks Excel! :)
