To be honest, I thought my Excel skills were OK… But the course showed me things that I didn’t
even know Excel could do… Bit embarrassing
to say the least.
So, I decided to take
the plunge and have another look at my Excel skills. Turns out that there are some rather worrying
gaps in my knowledge. OK – I had the ability
to get through the day to day work that I do, but I am getting to the stage
that I do need to gain a better understanding of the things that the damned
thing can do... Namely the dreaded
function VLOOKUP.
This has caused me more grey hair than enough, and despite colleagues
being patient and trying to explain the principals behind this function, I *cannot*
get my head around it. So, I’m using my time
to get some training, and hopefully get to grips with this damned function, as
well as other bits of Excel that could be useful to me…
It does help that the weather has been rotten
(cold, rain, wind – typical UK spring day) so it means that there has been less
temptation to go back to the garden and finish pruning the dogwood. Not that I am trying to get out of that – far
from it. It’s just that I dislike getting
cold and wet – especially when there is no need to.
So, hopefully this course will help me get my brain cell
around the methodology of the dreaded VLOOKUP…
Then all I will have to do is put the theory into use – and hopefully
discover that it makes my life easier when I am back in the office…
Back when my brain cell tells me that I have had enough (or I
have gone cross eyed / bonkers trying to understand VLOOKUP….)
