Re: Help!! Excel!!!
Its not that hard, but could take more than a weekend.
Do you have a newer Office on your computer? They have tutorials and walkthroughs on it now, not just FAQ.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Re: Help!! Excel!!!
If the employer will just have you doing data entry, then you don't have to worry about making the actual spreadsheets, as you will probably just be entering data in a spreadsheet that has already been created. After a while, you will figure out how to create, and adjust spreadsheets. You will also have to figure out how the formulas work, if you are to create spreadsheets.
If you're just doing data entry, I wouldn't trip too much.

Re: Help!! Excel!!!
look up some tutorials on youtube, that will probably be the best thing to learn from. Ask them what you will specifically be doing, then look up tutorials on that.
I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.Comment

Re: Help!! Excel!!!
You won't know until you try. Don't take other people's word for it. What is easy to them may be dang near impossible for others. We've all heard the saying, "If I can do it, anybody can." I have found this to be far from the truth and usually means a select few can accomplish the task. Just something I've learned in life.Originally posted by SX4DUDE2013 View Post

Re: Help!! Excel!!!
I think you will have to play around with Excel for a while to get used to it. Think of something you want to track and track it. You can do it from something pretty easy like gas mileage and link your previous miles to the current miles to figure out trip miles divided by total gallons on the fill up.
You can also make it something simple like oil change intervals, tire rotations, hours worked, a monthly budget with income and expenditures, a way to balance a checkbooks and keep a running balance, you could also extract or highlight certain items to track monthly expenditures like gas purchases during the month to help track the intervals with a simple addition or subtraction formula.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is billions upon billions of applications of excel spreadsheets. Until you know what you are going to be doing you cannot learn everything overnight. As an auditor, I use excel spreadsheets for about seven hours in an eight hour day. I've been auditing and using it for about 4 1/2 years and I still learn new things with Excel. We also keep our client's financials in excel and often have to link consolidated financials and detailed supplemental schedules that should tie back to front, front to back.
I would hope they give you some training, plus as a data entry person I can't imagine they will make you re-invent the wheel on their spreadsheets. Try to make some of those practical applications into spreadsheets and that will at least get you familiar with it and hopefully help in the longer run."Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week."
