The phrase ‘soft skills’ is often used to describe the skills which characterise relationships and other people, or how you approach interactions.

For many people, the so-called soft skills are often some of the most diffi cult skills to develop. Job-re-lated expertise (hard skills) are essential in any profession. However, over the last 10 years, under-standing has grown that perhaps soft skills may ul-timately be more important in determining levels of success.

Hard skills are a basic minimum necessity in order to operate in a particular workplace. Whether or not you are successful in your career may depend on how developed your soft skills are.

Formulas are the heart and soul of a spreadsheet, and MS Excel off ers a rich environment in which to build complex formulas. Armed with a few mathematical operators, you can turn a worksheet into a powerful calculator. The module will start off with a recap of the basics.

02FORMULA AND DATA: ANALYSIS PART 2

When you change the value in cells to which a formula refers, Excel updates the displayed values of the formula. This process is called recalculation, and it aff ects only cells containing references to cells that have changed. Excel recalculates whenever you make changes to a cell.

03MATHEMATICS, TEXT AND LOGIC

Most of the work you do in Excel will involve at least a few mathematical functions. The most popular among these is the SUM function, but Excel is capable of calculating just about anything. Text functions in Excel are some of the most useful data-management tools.

04WORKING WITH DATE AND TIME

Excel assigns serial values to days, hours, minutes, and seconds, which makes it possible for you to perform sophisticated date and time arithmetic. The basic unit of time in Excel is the day. Each day is represented by a serial date value.


05FUNCTIONS FOR ANALYZING STATISTICS

MS Excel provides a range of features that can help you perform statistical analysis. Functions that assist in simple analysis tasks are built into the program. If the built-in statistical functions aren’t enough, you can turn to the Analysis Toolpak.

A macro is a set of instructions that tells Microsoft Excel to perform one or more actions for you. For example, you can create a macro that enters a series of dates across one row of a worksheet, centres the date in each cell, and then applies a border format to the row.

06ANALYZING DATA WITH PIVOTTABLES

To take advantage of the functionality of PivotTables, you must fi rst understand how to create them. You must also know a bit about the type of data that works best for PivotTables. you’ll be preparing yourself to create useful, eff ective PivotTables that you can use to analyse.
