How do I use Excel

Before I became an american student I did not know how to use a computer at all. When I started to learn  computer applications in the two year college Excel immediately became my famouse. At my previous job I used Excel a lot , for instance, to create income-expense reports, to export data from QuickBook, to keep payroll records for company, to complete nessesary paperworks for different type of audits, even I used Excel instead of Word to create a letters with tables and charts. I think this is the best application for accounting, math, and engeneering.

How Excel is used in the workplace

Thus far I have had very little experience using excel. I recall using excel to create a few graphs/charts for a physics class but that’s about as far as my familiarity with the program goes. I’m eager to get a good grasp on how to use excel because I am well aware that it’s becoming more and more of a requirement in today’s work world. I read all the blog posts before mine and I see that it is being used in such a wide variety of ways from computing complicated functions to analyzing sales information to storing customer data. I discovered that another interesting way that people are using excel is for event planning. It serves as a tool to manage the budget, organize the guest list, and keep a calendar. I knew there was a lot that could be done with excel but I never realized how it could simplify so many day to day tasks. I have a feeling that once I am comfortable using it, I will be using it often.

How others use Excel at work

The need for excel is very important to many of us today, not only in business but so many others fields. At work, some people use MS Excel to save time. Spreadsheets help save the user a significant amount of time because everything is typed and automated. Some may use MS Excel for listing bills, tracking income and expenditures. It is also used for financial goals and tracking inventory going out and coming in. Businesses will use Excel for Income statements, cash flow statement and Balance sheet.

Using Excel At Work

My experiences in working with excel was really interesting. About two years ago, I learned how to use Excel at work. I always wanted to learn because knowing how to create excel spreadsheets is a “must” when working in the corporate sector. When I first started working in an accounting firm, I had just graduated out of high school and the first thing my boss asked me was, “Do you know how to use Excel?” I replied, “No.”

I was so fortunate that I had a great boss who ran through the fundamentals of using excel. After that, I literally learned how to use excel by constantly using it. Its funny because now my boss thinks I am in love with that program. I kind of am though because I am very organized and Excel is a program that keeps all your data organized. At work, I am usually calculating sales and expenses of corporations. I create databases for many companies. I learned how to plug in formulas, something I was very unfamiliar with before. However, I am very eager in taking this class because I really want to become even more proficient in using excel because I believe there is so much to learn in any new program. By: Fahima Salina

Using Excel at Work

Since I work at a small office, my job could be described as either the secretary or the bookkeeper. When I first start working there, I am not used to working with Excel even though I know how to use it.

However, my boss really depends on using Excel. For example, when we are adding up the total amount for five checks that are received, it seems easier for us to use a calculator than using Excel because it takes time to just open up a spreadsheet. But he would rather use Excel to get the sum.

As working at the same office with the same boss for over two years, now I am used to use Excel as well. Because it helps to organize our office in a certain way such as if there are some invoices that I want my boss to review, I will create a spreadsheet to record them and the file will be saved in the share drive for him to access anytime even though I am not there.

Also, I took a statistics class last semester. It is required to use Excel’s formulas such as Chi-square, Normal, etc… when we were working on questions that are related to distributions.

Thus, I think knowing how to use Excel is really important in many ways. And it is not limited to one career; it could be used in different purposes such as listing, organizing, etc…
