I have used spreadsheets on many occasions so this ah-ha moment was a little bit harder to find. With some more playing around and experimenting with the program of Excel, I was able to expand my horizons on this great software. I have used spreadsheets in the past to organize contact lists when I worked in the Marketing Department for Mercyhurst College's Performing Arts Center, organize my own money, organize what classes I need to take to keep up with the program, as well as being able to bring data together and allow it to be more logically put together. Spreasheets have a wide array of possiblities. Here is an example of what I have used spreadsheets for...to list out classes that I have finished and that I need to do. I go through and list out all of the classes that I need to take and then I am able to go through and figure out when classes are being offered and when I need to take the classes in comparison to when it is offered. I think Excel allows for easier organization for a lot of information (numbers, subjects, etc.).
Spreadsheets have great use in the workplace. The only thing that I can think about that I learned from the lab is that if you click on the button right next to the control bar allows you to see all of the function keys for any kind of math problem that you would want to do in a spreasheet. This has become very helpful as I have continued my studies in statistics in the Quantitative Methods I course. This has helped me in completing work more efficiently. Outside of schooling, I see that Excel can help if you want in charge of contact lists, money donations, etc. Excel is a very beneficial program as I move into the workplace.
