Excel


Learning excel this semester has been extremely helpful. Initially, I did not believe there were that many beneficial things about Excel that I did not know already. Thanks to Ms. Belisle and this class, however, I have learned several aspects of Excel that could save me a lot of time and effort. The lesson about absolute and relative cell references, for instance, helped me calculate large data in a short amount of time. I also learned about several aspects of Excel that could make your spreadsheet more presentable, such as wrap text, merge and center, themes, and format painter. Excel can also organize your data by sorting them in a certain fashion or conditionally formatting information in order to highlight certain aspects of them.

Excel can be used for academic purposes or for even daily, routine reasons, such as grocery lists, etc. In regards to academic fields and businesses, Excel is extremely helpful in displaying data in spreadsheets or graphs. It is also a great way to organize and sort your data in a simple and easy way. Since I will be taking many science classes during my stay at Trinity, I will most likely be using Excel more than most of the other Microsoft Office programs.

I am thankful that I have learned many things about Excel from this class, and I am looking forward to learning more new material!
