    The course was expertly addressed. The teacher took time but not too long to make sure everyone in the class was up to speed. The students varied in excel skill level but with an Intermediate class nothing took too long for everyone to fully grasp. I think the teacher thoroughly went through exercises and practice problems. Sometimes even called on students to complete exercises in front of the classroom. Everyone was called on about once and if you really do not know you do not need to go up. It's more of a way of making you feel proud of figuring it out. I will definitely be back for a higher level course! Thanks again!

Industries That Use Excel

Microsoft Excel plays an integral role in many industries across the US. It’s an especially vital tool in fields in which large volumes of data are collected. This makes Excel a go-to application for professionals in industries like data analytics, manufacturing, finance, accounting, project management, and engineering. The following sections will briefly explore how Excel is used in each of these industries to streamline operations, organize information, and transform data into actionable insights.

Data Analytics

Data Analysts are hired by an organization to locate key insights in datasets that can provide a more robust understanding into any challenges they are encountering, as well as how to more effectively connect with customers. This process involves gathering, organizing, and analyzing a company’s data so that it can be used to inform decisions. Microsoft Excel allows Data Analysts to easily organize and view data so they can locate important trends in the information, as well as outliers or other patterns. This helps the organization learn about key factors, such as marketing fluctuations, profit margins, and revenue patterns. Excel’s fields and functions can also be customized to help Data Analysts perform calculations on complex data. 

Excel is a useful tool for data professionals in that it helps them make sense of large datasets consisting of segmented data. Once this information is analyzed, it can then be shared with others in the form of data visualizations, such as charts or graphs. This ensures content will be easy for audience members from non-technical backgrounds to access, and those important findings can be highlighted to be readily apparent. Excel’s ability to quickly and accurately perform calculations helps reduce the occurrence of errors a Data Analyst may make when handling data, which leads to more reliable and accurate analysis results.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry continues to generate more data than any other sector. Each year, as more data is created and stored, those who work in manufacturing rely on the best tools to help them organize and analyze this information so they can make decisions based on data findings. As new software and tools emerge to streamline the data analytics process, many Manufacturers still rely on Microsoft Office to process data. Excel remains the universal tool for data analysis and is already installed on most business computers. Because its interface is considered to be relatively easy to learn and use, and because of the ease with which it can create data visualizations and perform mathematical calculations, Excel remains the go-to for many who work in manufacturing. 

This spreadsheet application saves Manufactures time by streamlining logistics and supply chain management. Excel’s templates are useful for organizing and accessing information, as well as evaluating data to improve capacity planning. Excel can also make custom reports that track information that’s specific to a Manufacturer’s needs, which makes it a versatile tool for manufacturing projects of all sizes and types.

Finance

One of the industries that relies the most on Excel is finance. Accountants are required in nearly all jobs to have Excel skills as a prerequisite. Excel helps them keep track of various documents, such as income statements, tax returns, financial documents, and records of cash flow. This spreadsheet application also helps Accountants organize financial information in rows and columns, which helps them retrieve key information using a simple command. This saves Accountants a significant amount of time that would be required to find values manually, especially in large spreadsheets containing thousands of rows. Another benefit of using Excel is that it helps those in accounting perform math directly in a spreadsheet using built-in formulas and functions. This provides additional assurance that computational results will be accurate and free of human error.

In addition to Accountants, Financial Analysts also regularly work with Excel. Spreadsheets help them stay current on investment and business trends. By examining trends, Financial Analysts can make sure the reports they generate are timely and contain the most accurate and up-to-date data available. With the help of this app’s features and tools, data findings can be organized and formatted to ensure audience members can understand insights. This typically involves adding text colors to set certain values apart from others, as well as to distinguish key insights from other data that are less important. Formatting reports and sharing them at meetings allows Financial Analysts to convey key information to stakeholders in a manner that’s memorable and engaging.

Project Management

Project Managers must be extremely organized individuals to keep track of the moving parts in one if not several projects. These professionals often rely on applications like Excel to help ensure they have important, time-sensitive information readily available. Project Managers use Excel for tasks like organizing vendor data, tracking tasks, monitoring issues, creating to-do lists, recording financial transactions, and generating reports. Excel provides a convenient and user-friendly way for them to monitor a range of daily operations in each project they oversee so that operations are completed on schedule, and budget constraints are honored.

Engineering

Although Excel is most commonly thought of as a tool for those who work in the business or finance sector, spreadsheets also have a range of practical applications for Engineers. Excel helps engineers perform various types of numerical analysis and engineering functions. They work with spreadsheets for tasks like making estimations, managing applications, and project planning. In addition, Excel helps Engineers set up databases. The PivotTables in Excel has applications for creating accessible and engaging charts and reports that can convey complex information in a manner a general audience can understand. Data visualizations created in Excel are useful for predicting trends. 

Excel’s ability to quickly clean large datasets makes it a popular tool for those who work in engineering. Using macros for automation helps Engineers use their time more efficiently by eliminating the hours spent performing repetitive tasks. Technical problems can be addressed in Excel using this app’s range of built-in graphical modules and functions. Mechanical Engineers employ these functions and modules to analyze construction equipment and railway vehicles. Electrical Engineers use them to perform calculations on voltage drops, sections of circuit breakers, or cable size. 

Excel Jobs & Salaries

Excel is one of the most widely used professional tools across the globe. This spreadsheet app is integral in the finance and business sector, retail, data science, data journalism, and office management. The following sections will take a brief look at how professionals in these fields use Excel, as well as how their salary varies depending on physical location.

Excel helps Data Journalists store, organize, and keep track of important information, which can then be used to support their stories. Excel can also provide these professionals with data visualizations to enhance a story. Working with spreadsheets makes it easier for Data Journalists to locate patterns or trends in data, which have applications for the pieces they write. Excel’s data filtering tool allows these professionals to examine one portion of data from a larger set.

Spreadsheets provide a convenient way to schedule appointments and meetings, order office supplies as necessary, and delegate tasks to administrative support staff. Office Managers also rely on Excel to manage records, keep track of employee schedules and contact information, and develop budgets. Excel can also help with event planning, departmental staffing, and meeting room management.

Financial Analysts Career Path

Nearly everyone who works in finance relies on Excel to perform daily tasks.

These professionals rely on analytical skills and business knowledge to source, manage, and analyze vast volumes of unstructured data. Excel helps Data Scientists clean, filter, organize, merge, and trim these data. This spreadsheet app also helps them create and name ranges. With the help of VBA, Excel’s built-in programming language, Data Scientists can create and employ macros capable of automating repetitive tasks. This helps save time and improve the accuracy of data analysis.
