Category Archives: How Excel is used at Work

I have not used Excel at work however I am very eager to learn this system because I know it will be extremely benificial in starting and furthering my career. Excel is definitely one of the most popular programs used by millions of corporations for many operations such as storing and managing various data. Excel is also used to perform mathematical calculations such as finding profit and loss of sales or banks can use excel to calculate mortgage and loan percentages.

In my job excel is very necessary when it comes down to inventory and orders. Excel help to keep all the information in an organized manner, so that it’s easy to access when needed. Excel makes it easy to find mistakes also, because you can search and search for mistakes until you eventually find it. I’m looking forward to learning more about it.

I have never used Access, but here is a brief definition of what is is and how it may be sued in the workplace. Microsoft Access is an information management tool that helps sort information for reference, reporting and analysis. It can be used for cross references, multiple users may access data at the same time and data is arranged in a few columns with less repetition. Sabratini Watson

I have no experience about using Microsoft Excel at work. What’s more, I am also not good at using the Microsoft Excel. So, I would like to share what I searched about how Excel is used in businesses.

While I worked as a trainee in accounts payable at Fox Networks, I used Microsoft Excel to organize a chart showing copies of signatures from each of the local station’s executives.  By doing so, my co-workers were easily able to verify the signature on an employee’s travel and expense report.

When I use to work at the Roundabout Theatre Company, we used Excel to calculate people’s commissions.  Since I worked in the Sales Department, my staff’s salary was based on a hourly rate + commission.  With Excel I could easily plug in the hours everyone worked, and then sales they made for the week.  Excel would then compute and calculate their total salary for the week in seconds.  Then we would submit it to the Business Department electronically and everyone would get paid.  If I had to do this by hand, I think I would of shot myself.

I work at Staples and we use Excel for several reasons. My manager uses Excel to keep track of everyone’s work availabilities and schedules. We also use Excel to organize and present data on CSAT’s (surveys that provide the store with customer feedback), which helps us know how well the store is doing in Customer Service. We also use Excel to create visuals on sales numbers, so we know how we are doing in terms of profit and how much more we need to sell in order to meet goals.

I am a sales associate at Macy’s and we use excel all the time. In everything from organizing our work schedules to calculating how much each brand sells weekly. Also, at the end of each week we get our scorecards that help keep track of our progress in individual selling. Such as items per transaction, sales goals, credit accounts opened and much more.

I used to work at a tea lounge and we had over 95 teas, in order to keep track of all of the teas, we used Excel to categorize them by variety and price. We would record how much of a particular tea we had and used this data to record our top sellers and ones that were not selling as well. We then took particular teas off of the menu, and purchased more of a particular variety. Excel makes organizing useful data easier.
