Excel

When we first started using excel i was familiar with all the things we covered. Later on though, i had never used absolute and relative cell references. This would prove useful in keeping a running tab, such as your check book balance. Also, if in the future I was running a store and had the employees payments on excel, then it would be extremely useful. Another useful thing i never knew about was conditional formatting. This made it easier to have certain numbers stand out in a set. This helped to make the spreadsheet be a lot easier to read. Actually, in biology were are working with excel right now. We are doing histograms and t-tests for a certain set of data. Using the formulas in class has made this easier for me to do, and a lot easier to understand. Also, when running a business you can keep track of profits in a spreadsheet, keep a running balance, and to help calculate employees payment. This would allow for the business to run more efficiently and to minimize errors in calculations.
