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
