At first i thought that excel was only meant for creating spread sheets and tables until i started my learning journey with LuxDevHQ and realized its much more. Excel comes around as a powerful tool used by people to uncover insights, research, organize data and most of all in businesses and financial institutions.
In most cases the real world tends to use excel as a tool to analyze data and execute better business decision making which includes customer data, sales figures, operational records, in short its basically used to collect large amounts of information every single day. Its basically the best tool to organize information, identify trends and plans future strategies.
I've realized that excel being one of the mostly used tool, its widely used in budgeting and financial reports. Businesses makes use of it by tracking income, profits, expenses and cash flows. Its the best tool to use in organizations to make informed decisions and improve the companies financial planning.
One common use of excel that not so many people talk about, is its effectiveness in marketing analysis. Most companies use it to monitor customer engagement, performance of advertising campaigns and also sales results. As a result excel brings out the comparison of different metrics, where marketers can identify the best strategies that are working and also where to improve.
During my first week of learning Excel, i was introduced to several useful features and formulas. The SUM function that really helps to calculate totals way fast, while the AVERAGE makes it simpler to understand the overall performance by finding the mean value of a data set. Something else i got to learn was sorting and filtering data, that helps users focus on important information and discover patterns easily. As simple as it may seem, they are essential for working with data effectively.
Personally i viewed data as just a collection of numbers and figures, but since joining LuxDevHQ bootcamp i have really change my perspective view on Excel and data. its safe to say that data can relate to stories, reveal different trends and support important decisions. Even though i am still a beginner, i can already see how valuable Excel is the in the field of data analytics. Completing a whole week learning about excel has really given me a very strong foundation, and i am super excited to continue building my skills and learning how to turn data into meaningful insights.
