Week 2 - Seminar

During today's seminar we were getting familiar with Excel through various types of exercise. It was long ago since the last time I used MS Excel so I found this very helpful in order to refresh my skills and as a great opportunity to realize my weakness and work on it. It gave me inspiration to study Excel and practice at home. First we were carrying out simple tasks such as applying different formulas ( such as summary, cell count, multiply, divide, max.value, min.value, average value, percentage of the values) while using values in particular cells.

The second exercise was more practical , as in applying the skills mentioned above and working with data given to us. Our task was to work with the information and determine holiday costs of a group of travelers. Creating the spread sheet then allowed us to see different results depending on different input values.
I found this a very useful and time saving skill not only in professional environment but also while conquering little  challenges of our every day lives.
