Excel Wizardry

Hi guys! I’m an incoming SA and was taking some classes of excel (CFI) ones. They move pretty quick with the shortcuts, and was wondering if the higher ups would expect me to be fully prepared to use excel without a mouse the time I walk into the office? Seems somewhat daunting or maybe I’m j the dunce.

No one expects that, but also, do note that CFI courses often use Macabacus, which may showcase a bunch of additional shortcuts that appear to be faster.
