Excel

Coming in to this class, i did not know anything about excel. I was always timid to use it because charts, graphs, and data always confused me and I did not know how to work it. I was also unaware of all the functions and formulas used to make the data accumulate. I am now proud to say I am confident in using excel. I learned many new things with excel. For starters, how to create SUM,AVERAGE, IF, and many more functions and formulas. I also learned how to add charts and spreadsheets into the excel page. I feel that this will be helpful in the future when i am presenting information and determining data. Being a business major, I know that i will have to use excel with future jobs and internships. Having knowledge with how to use excel will definitely be a advantage.

I also learned how to copy and paste data from excel into power point presentations and word documents. This special copy and paste feature is extremely important because presenting a creative and thorough power point is always good. Knowing a lot of key features with excel will help me organize and retrieve data a lot easier. Formatting cells and being able to use absolute cell reference saves time.

In conclusion, i came into this class with no knowledge of excel and am leaving feeling confident and intelligent when working with excel. I am glad we touched upon the topic of excel because being a business major this will come in handy very often!!
