Microsoft Excel skills are important this time of year

Are you finding work quiet this time of year? We’ve just been handed down our budget and emails are starting to fly around showing what it means to us.

Its the time of year where we find out how well we’ve done financially. It’s the time of year where workers will see how much they can borrow to buy property in the 2025 financial year and where they need to cut back.

Most of this financial information will be worked out using Microsoft Excel.

Ads for accounting software like Xero and MYOB have dozens of reasons to move away from using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, but Microsoft Excel enables you to do almost anything with data.

With a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet you can enter any sort of data and start to make sense of it both using formulas as well as visually using graphs and charts.

Right now is a good time to enrol into the Microsoft Office Academy training course package.

It includes training in all major office admin software programs and the financial calculations in the Advanced Excel Course would be the most valuable at this time of the year.
