Week 11 - Microsoft Excel Tutorial Task

Previously, as with Microsoft Word last week, I have used Microsoft Excel for work purposes and have found it very easy to use. For a long time however the program was limited to my needs of table creation. Currently in my part time work I is use it for accounting and productivity reports in excel format.

The tute task that incorporated the table and formula creation was very simple for me, however, the introduction of the Macro function was definately new! Macro was very simple to do - however it was quite fiddly, particularly if you wanted to compare a large number of things, i.e. more than Gains, Losses, and Gains & Losses. On my exercise also, when I created the customised toolbar and I assigned the specific Macros to each of the three buttons the title on the toolbar buttons did not change from 'Custom Menu Item' - so (unless I did something wrong) that seems a little confusing - but I think with a bit more personal tinkering I could work out how to change that!

I believe that Excel will continue to be of important use to me in many different fields of work and, possibly, uni.

Back to the study now!
