OK, I know what Excel is - it's for spreadsheeting. I've used it before, for school projects, but as I'm looking at descriptions for potential jobs I'll apply for - I'm seeing that it's required or at least preferred that you are "efficient in Excel". What exactly does this mean, though? What types of things do you generally need to know how to do on Excel?

The most used feature of Excel is calculation. There are some formulas you have to know in order to do all those calculations. To be 'efficient' in Excel you also need to know how to prepare a spreadsheet for being printed. It's not a difficult task, but it ain't easy, either. Please check up the link below, it is a beginner's guide to Excel 2007. I hope it will help you. http://www.spreadsheets.about.com/od/excel101/a/Excel_beg_guide.htm

I think "efficient in Excel" mean that you did an error action when you do searching in the sheet, may be data that you search is in another sheet (or relative value refer in this sheet when its absolute value in another sheet)
