Start learning excel I guess
Dude you’re a teenager - no one expects you to know anything. Just have a good attitude, be respectful, be humble, be polite, and be willing to learn. Be resourceful and Google things but if you don’t know how to do something, ask someone for help. You’re basically the office mascot - some eager and happy young person who brings a little bit of life into the office and everyone gets to feel good teaching things to.
You’re going to add basically 0 value apart from doing data entry, and everyone knows that.
