3. Why learn and use MS-Excel?
In the corporate world there is an abundance of data and making sense of
this data is of paramount importance in decision making. A lot of time is
spent in organizing and retrieving relevant information from data with MS
Excel as the tool of choice.
Sadly, many of MS Excel’s features are unexplored and underutilized. The
understanding of these features greatly reduces time needed for data
organization, making more time available for data analysis.
Excel is applicable to any job role that requires data handling and analysis.
We have seen a varied mix of professionals using MS-Excel; from teachers
and HR executives to Financial analysts and Consultants.
