What to be familiar with in Excel, PP, etc
Hi All,
I'll be starting my first year with a firm in a few months and would appreciate any insight as to what specific uses within Microsoft Office (Excel, PP) are expected of your average first year. I have the opportunity to brush up on my Excel skills through the firm I currently work with and it would be ideal if I could focus on a few particular aspects.
Thanks in advance.
learn to do everything without a mouse and learn how to print any and everything in a nice/neat format
+1 printing
Go to the mrexcel.com forum and be able to solve all the problems. If you can solve the VBA, that's a plus.
-named ranges -nested ifs -vlookup -hlookup -index -match -indirect -or -and -eomonth -year, month -yearfrac -now -today -sumif -sumifs -sumproduct -countif -countifs -na -isna -isblank -iferror -not ^^^These are functions that I use on a daily basis.
Listen to hockey... everything you send out should be print friendly. Master array functions. Be able to list volatile vs non-volatile function.
Three levels to Excel (obviously varying levels within each group below): 1) working with functions 2) working with arrays 3) working with VBA
***Edit -min, max, average, linest, trend, slope,value, mid, left, right, ceiling, floor, round, char, choose... Too many more useful ones to list/think of.
Great stuff. Appreciate the input. Printability is a great point. Also, very useful are the functions you use every day. Will be sure to get some practice in.
Don't call it "PP" call it "PPT" Just think about how the e-mail "Please review my PP" looks.....
Practical advice from the sucker potentially reviewing your....PPT....one day.....and never, ever your PP.
