　　　Let’s brief talk about my job. I’m the Mc People department Manager. I have to do the monthly and weekly budgets analysis; projecting the store’s daily transactions, sales, and labor cost. Also, I’m responsible for hiring, and scheduling all the crews and managers as well. Therefore, Excel is a main tool of my work. It has lots of business budgets templates meet my needs. (Training budget, event budget, marketing budget plan…). Plus, Excel provides lots of financial functions and statistical functions which are very helpful for the Projection. Moreover, the schedules templates I use a lots when I making the schedule.

I use excel at work by doing payroll for my department. It helps me calculate employee earnings, track hours and reporting. It is also nice to use charts so the executives can visualize percentages and amounts in one clean area at once.

I use Excel to keep the database of prospective clients organized. I use only the basic tools of this program.

Being an accountant I use excel to run a lot of financial reports and double check transactions and entries entered into Quickbooks. It’s sort of a checks and balances system I’ve set up to make sure that all transactions for the month have been entered accurately and accounted for. Sometimes there are specific reports that cannot be run in Quickbooks because of certain restrictions. In those instances I download the raw data into an excel workbook and manipulate it from there with formulas and sorts until we get the specific information we need.

Continued interest with “Microsoft Excel” has spurred new ways of using the program that goes outside creating schedules and organizing data. At companies like Red Triangle, Excel spreadsheets provide excellent training for future pilots in learning to fly a jet or a plane. The company utilizes Excels comment feature to provide pop-up details of a planes operational schematics when one hovers one’s mouse over a particular picture. Excel can also be used on covert office activities. For example: a radio web player can be placed into a spreadsheet to play music. So if you have manager that does not appreciate personal entertainment in the office, just open up that special spreadsheet to play that funky music.

One benefit is saving time. Excel saves you time by offering an easy to use GUI (graphical user interface). A major feature of this interface is the Ribbon, which displays icons for the tools you’ll likely use most often.

Excel is great at data manipulation: sorting, filtering, tabulating and calculating data. Each of the tools to do these tasks are immediately available on the Home tab of the Ribbon, making it easy to use.

My job description is a little bit complicated. I mainly use excel at work to keep count of inventory items. I also use it to keep record of checks and accounts payable.

I also use Excel for accounting and finance classes. It is a quick and efficient way to do homework.

Excel is my main tool at work , since I manage the accounting department in a Real state company,I need to keep track of my  Account Receivables , Accounts Payable , The Monthly Budget , Depreciation of tangibles and intangible Assets, Calculate interest for Mortgages, Calculate commissions for agents  and so forth. I really found excel as a major help in my position.  Despite the basic knowledge I have about excel I am so eager to learn a lot more and bring new ideas for my team at work  .

Excel provides lots of financial functions and statistical functions which would be very useful to me since my major is actuarial science . Also there are all the regular functions for doing calculations available, which would also be a large part of their work. Basically, anyone that has a need to do regular calculations can make use of a spreadsheet to do them

I have been using excel for some time now and I have always used simple charts and graphs to visually analyze financial data.  Recently I learned about dashboards and how powerful they can be.  I would like to learn more about creating dashboards that are dynamic and flexible.  Knowing how to create a well designed dashboard can help anyone get up to the next level at their job.  I hope we cover this topic in class as it is a skill that is necessary in today’s competitive business environment.
