Microsoft Excel is one thing that can never be exclude from organizations. Every organization use excel for different purpose. Some of them use excel for generating memos, track sales trends, creating pivots.





MS Excel is capable of doing so many things. It has so many functionalities that help you in work scheduling, Accounting purpose, Analysis, and showing business trends.

Reason behind its popularity is its simple looking interface and its licensed is also quite cheap as on compared to data analysis tools. Importance of excel cannot be decrease because, as much as you can work on SAS, SPSS and tableau but your higher management always want to see report and dashboard in only excel. They do not care about coding at all. They always want to see short and crisp report.

Everyone should know, basis of excel. But I have observed that there are so many management professionals from higher management, program management (PMO’s) and Project manager, they don’t have basic knowledge for addition, subtraction, Count and lookups. I have seen so many times, that even for small things higher management is dependent on MIS professionals. PMO and project coordinator needs to prepare Invoice report, Dashboards, and WFM report to align work within the team member.
I have seen people, who took very long time to do single and easy task. Which can be done within an hour or two.

Give some time to learn at least basic excel. Now everybody is social media and spend so much time on Internet and there are so many websites and YouTube Channels helping professionals so learn these skills. And also there are so many institutes who are running online classes as per student feasibility.
