My Excel Experience

During our work with excel I have learned many new and quite helpful skills. Probably the most time efficient thing I learned was how to pull down formulas and not have to retype them into every cell. That function would have saved me a lot of time on high school projects.

Aside from the formula functions, the new formatting functions make it easier to keep track of your information, which I have a hard time doing. The conditioned formatting helps point out key pieces of information with color, rather than having to search through the data to find the one piece you are looking for.

Another upgrade that I appreciate is the new charts and graphs. This new version of excel makes it so much easier to create graph that is nice to look and while still being very easy to produce.

I would have to say that I learned a lot from our section on excel and am happy to have learned these new skills.
