Excel Project

   During my time at FSCJ I had to take a computer class that taught me the basic functions of Microsoft Office. As we all know, Excel was one of those interesting pieces in the computer class. I have learned the basics about Excel mainly through trial and error in the workplace over the last few years, but none of it compares to what I have learned in the Fitness Project.
   Completing the Fitness Center Project tested my knowledge, or lack thereof, of Excel. I started out the project thinking that this was going to be easy. I soon realized, halfway through, that making the most minor mistake could take you all the way back to the beginning. Yes, I accidentally opened the project twice and saved the wrong one! After repeating the steps, I thought I was on a smooth course once again, until the pivot table was asked to be created.
   Although the creation of the pivot table was frustrating at first, I ended up learning the most from that part of the project. I have never really experimented with that part of Excel before now. I learned how to organize my data and make it look more presentable. I must admit that I was not a believer in really having to organize my data in this form, but I have now been convinced of its importance in business.
