Excel Project

There's only one word to describe this assignment: frustrating. This assignment was simple once the proper tools were used, but the search in finding the necessary tools to complete the specific instructions was my downfall. However, this project definitely got me more familiar with the Excel program. I learned a lot more than I initially thought I would, and I am definitely going to use some of the features I learned through this project in the future.

I am a pretty avid excel user, but because I never had such large amounts of data, I never utilized any of the data analysis tools or shortcuts taught via this project. The best thing I learned from this project was definitely pivot tables. Pivot tables are convenience at its best. The raw data sheet took me a while to do, but the pivot tables were quick, easy, and accurate. Simplicity and accuracy were equally as perfect, and therefore I found the pivot tables to be an awesome new addition to my excel knowledge.

The one thing that really irked me were the formulas. There are so many of them! I find them confusing, but like anything else, it takes practice to become better acquainted with them. I still can't efficiently use the functions because I get confused on which ones to use. However, once I become familiar with the functions after continuously using them, it will definitely increase my efficiency when using and/or creating excel documents.
