The Excel Experience

At first when I learned we would be using Excel I was a little worried because I have had some bad experiences with it. In high school I only Excel for graphs and I never really got the hang of it. I didn't know how to merge, enlarge, or even move cells around. After doing some excercises with Excel I now realize why it's so popular and used frequently in the business world. Excel truly does make simple tasks like calcualting statistics or grade averages much easier. There is so much that Excel offers and I wish I had some previous training with it because it would have made previous assignments much easier. My favorite function in Excel would most definitely be the sum and average function. I'm so used to just spending a long time plugging everything into my calculator when doing math, but now I know Excel can actually do all the math for me. There are many real life situations which Excel could help me with like taxes and managing a budget. When I take statistics or any other math class I will definitely apply my knowledge of Excel to help me with my homework. The one thing I still dislike about Excel is that I've found when you make a mistake it's usually impossible to find it or fix it but overall I'm sure I will use Excel in school and outside of school to make some tedious and irritating tasks much easier.
