Excel

Before we started the unit on Excel I did not know a lot about it and, to be completely honest, I was intimidated . However, after everything we have done with it I can honestly say that I really enjoyed learning about excel! I did not know about most of what we learned and all of the applications the program had.

I loved how functions worked and the ease of using them. The running balance was probably the most useful function for me because I can start using it to keep track of how much money I have and avoid over-drafting (again!). I also learned a lot with conditional formating because it can make a table a lot more clear or highlight specific portions that are important. The function I found MOST interesting however, was the 'if' function. I think its amazing how much Excel can compute and organize with just a couple of parameters. These tables will also be really useful to keep track of grades (as we do in class) and to quickly makes charts from specific data.
