Thoughts on Excel

Although I have not enjoyed Excel much in the past, this class has helped me to become more comfortable with it. I do not feel as if I had struggled with it in high school, but it was often annoying to use and had connotations that included frustrating biology or chemistry prelabs. I knew how to input basic data, use formulas, and make basic charts, but I was not very experienced. I have learned more efficient ways to calculate equations in excel and how to have more control over the spreadsheet. I did not know about certain features such as conditional formatting. In future classes, it would be helpful to continue to find out the fastest ways to accomplish tasks in Excel, like all the simple shortcuts that exist. This could help me in my "real life" by making other school work easier and impressing teachers with visually appealing reports. I immaturely dislike Excel just for the fact that it is often used for rather dull assignments. I like Excel though for its clean organization.
