Week 2 - Microsoft Excel

So somebody has a great entrepreneurial idea, and it starts to take off. The NFL wants to incorporate the new system into every game, and now the CFL and Arena leagues as well as college and some high profile high schools are interested in your product. What's the next step you ask? Organizing your information and budget with Microsoft Excel.

Keeping information together with Microsoft Excel is fast and easy. Functions can be utilized to do create monthly or yearly averages, add up expenses, balance budget figures, and overall, organize information in an easy to read, user-friendly format with a few clicks of the mouse. Conditional formatting can also be utilized to set cell blocks in different colors based on your information, thus creating a bright and shiny, easily understood set of information to present to potential investors in your company (you're growing, you could use the money from investors!) And then you can create a graph to show how awesome your investors are!

Microsoft Excel takes data to a whole new level, all the while simplifying the process for organizing it. One such feature within Excel is the Pivot Table feature, which enables someone to quickly and easily summarize and analyze large amounts of data with ease. Microsoft Excel is a very useful tool in today's workplace, and extensive knowledge of the program puts applicants for jobs at your growing company ahead of those who think they can skate by without doing something as easy as conditional formatting! It's too simple to not utilize, and too important not to have.
