Did you know that you can do a lot of things in excel aside from formulas,reports and chart which we commonly used? Excel have visual basic for application ( if you are not aware of, but if you are already knows, keep excelling ) that can automate some task for you. We normally does copy and paste process in excel, let say we need to consolidated different sheets into one master sheet, we do it manually, oh, what a tedious process isn't it? This can be done automatically in excel, if you are new, help feature in excel is a big start.

Help feature or help books regarding Microsoft Office can be helpful if you are not familiar with all the functions to use. Also there are even people who made a game out of Excel. You may play it on this website: http://www.pixer.org/excit/ Pablo
