Finalta London - Excel test+interview insights

Hey guys, I got an Excel + writing test with Finalta coming up in 2 days, what to expect? What're the question types: for example, do I need to do the ppt based on the Excel (e.g. find a problem & answer 1 question), or it's just sending back the .xsl to test how good you're at certain tech tasks?..

I really appreciate any tips or advice! Thanks, monkeys!

P.S. Here is what the HR description: "The evaluation is comprised of two exercises. The first is designed to assess your analytical skills and critical thinking using an Excel exercise. The second is designed to assess your writing and communication skills. We will send you two emails - each containing an evaluation exercise and all relevant instructions. You have 60 minutes for the Excel exercise, and 45 minutes for the writing, to both complete and send the file back to us via email."
