Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program which allows someone to enter numerical values or data into the rows or columns of a spreadsheet, and to use these numerical entries for such things as calculations, graphs, and statistical analysis.
Three advantages to using excel are; it can store large amounts of data, analysis tools to help decipher the data, and perform sophisticated calculations that return the data that you need.
I use Microsoft Excel for many functions where I work. One thing we use it for is to keep track of the gift cards that we send out. this helps us to log the card ID number into the spreadsheet along with the customer or number and the amount of the card. This way if the gift card is lost or stolen in the mail, we can find the customers order number and find the gift card the gift card number and we will be able to cancel that card out of the system. This way if someone does use it we can know that it was not by the original customer. We also use it to keep log of every bodies numbers. At my work you have to obtain a certain amount of productivity and anything over the expected amount you receive a bonus. So, each day someone will log the numbers into the computer and calculate the amount of extra product that they were able to get out. Then dollar amount will be giving to human resource and the bonus money will be put into the persons check.
Microsoft Excel is a great way to create and organize a monthly budget or keep track of a business intake and output. Other students can use it to calculate anything or create graphs.
