Question-1 Write short note on MS Excel, describing its uses.
Ans-: Excel is a spreadsheet program from Microsoft and
a component of its Office product group for business
applications. Microsoft Excel enables users to format,
organize and calculate data in a spreadsheet.
By organizing data using software like Excel, data
analysts and other users can make information easier to
view as data is added or changed. Excel contains a
large number of boxes called cells that are ordered in
rows and columns. Data is placed in these cells.
Excel is a part of the Microsoft Office and Office 365
suites and is compatible with other applications in the
Office suite. The spreadsheet software is available for
Windows, macOS, Android and iOS platforms.
USES OF MS EXCEL
1. DATA ENTRY AND STORAGE
At its most basic level, Excel is an excellent tool for both data
entry and storage. In fact, an Excel file’s size is only limited
by your device’s computing power and memory
.
2. COLLECTION AND VERIFICATION OF
BUSINESS DATA
Businesses often employ multiple systems (i.e CRM,
inventory) each with its own database and logs. All of which
can be exported into Excel for easy access.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGERIAL
DUTIES
One aspect of managerial duties is creating and outlining
business processes. This aids in process optimization and is an
effective tool for organizing procedures and scenarios. The
use of excel offers tools that allow users to create flow charts,
which can include text, pictures, and animations.
4. ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Excel even includes accounting and budgeting templates for
easy use. From there the software’s built-in calculating and
formula features are available to help you organize and
synthesize results.
5. DATA ANALYSIS
One of the best features to do this is called Pivot Tables. They
allow users to consolidate and focus on certain segments of
data from a large data set, creating concise snapshots that can
be used as an interactive summary report.
6. REPORTING + VISUALIZATIONS
Data from both raw data sets and Pivot tables can even be
used to create charts and graphs. Which can be used for
formal reports, presentations, or aid in one’s data analysis. As
they can provide another perspective on trends and
performance.
7. FORECASTING
While reporting and reviewing results is an important aspect
of any business, forecasting and being prepared for various
scenarios and changes is just as vital.
