learn Excel

On to class 2. The first one was really hard for me,but I think I am starting to understand the simpler stuff. Now I will see if I can understand some of the harder things. :)

I’m ashamed to say I know enough about excel to be dangerous. I do have it installed on my home computer and have played around with it a bit. I don’t have to use it at work on a regular basis so there really is no reason to learn – I just want to. We have FREE classes available to us through one of our carriers to take excel training but management wont let us do it because it will take away from work time. I think I may propose to management that I will do this on my own time during work hours. I have debated paying for a class for excel and to take an online class from home or something like that. I just don’t like not being comfortable with a program. I know once I get started it will be easy. I just need to learn the basics.

I keep a lot of spreadsheets for the various projects I have at work. Even so, I am certain that I do not use Excel to anywhere near it’s capacity. I set learning Excel (by actually going through a course/tutorial/book as one of my New Year’s Resolutions and, so far, I’ve managed to get my hands on a self-teaching workbook and I’m on page 21 (there are 275 pages) and I’ve already learned something!

This one of the goals on my list for Office proficiency. I will have to take a test in it. Soooo Id better know what I am doing. :)

Downloaded Microsoft Office tutorials online . . . It took me an entire Saturday night of practice but by the end of the night I understood enough to download an Excel template and modify it for my own purposes (a billing spreadsheet for a client). It was not graceful, but it’s no longer a mystery!

Far too many things are done with Excel when they need to be ‘done properly’.

I need to learn excel in order to be more efficient at work

Everything is spreadsheet-ed now and I find out I can’t do it! Must get my act together for this.

I’ve already known a lot of things about Excel and I used this knowledge in the last job I had. But I percept I forgot some little things and now I’m reviewing them. I’ve got some lessons from great universities on the web and, after the review about the basic stuff and the functions, I’ll learn more about graphics (I know just the basic too).
In an job interview, the guy asked who knew about macros and no one answered. So, it’s a good thing to learn too.
Excel isn’t a program I use in my days (on college, I used only in the begginning), but it’s something they always ask in the job interviews.

i’m going to sign up for one as soon as i have time this semester. reasons for learning excel? it is sure to help once i get out in the real world and have to do expenses and spread sheets of all sorts. also, they’re supposedly good for presentations but i’ve never seen one. hmm.. i should ask the instructor about that.
