Level of Excel and PowerPoint proficiency required for SA

Hi monkeys,

What would you say is the expected level of proficiency required in both Excel and PowerPoint for a summer internship? Is being hands-free enough in Excel, or do you need to know VBA too? Similarly, for PowerPoint, is knowing all the alignment and distribution shortcuts enough or is there more to it?
