Excel is a spreadsheeting tool which helps with managing data, storing data, analysing data. It can produce reports, invoices, graphs, have pictures, and many many more things.
There are many other spreadsheeting tools out there besides Excel, however Excel is by far the most popular.
There is an enormous amount of information in the web, at libraries, bookstores for using Excel. However the best way to learn and improve with excel skills is to practice!
Especially with the economic times that we live in, it is important to improve your excel skills or spreadsheeting skills, as these skills are easily transferrable from job to job.
Usually those in the back office for finance and accounting, administration, project managers or project teams, managers, senior manager, personal and executive assistants will use excel frequently.
Accounting and finance will always be using period mappings or accounting months, periods, trial balances, statutory accounting and notes, budgeting and forecasting, and 99% of the time its going to done with the use of excel.
Administration, projects, managers, etc, will all use excel from time to time.
But nearly anyone that uses data on a daily basis will need to use a spreadsheeting tool. And maybe even a database!
