Before beginning the Excel project, I had no prior knowledge of how to use the program. The "Excel Scavenger Hunt", really enabled me to learn the basics of Excel and the main purposes for using such a program. The project took me a lot longer to complete than I thought because I ran into some unplanned complications. For example, every time I would type in a number, it would automatically change to a date. I remember this being addressed in the Excel tutorial videos, but couldn't remember how to fix it. I then used the "Excel Help" function on Excel to solve the problem.
I learned a lot through out the project that was covered in the videos, but didn't really understand it until I had to do it. For example, applying a formula to an entire row or column was a lot more difficult to do than perceived in the video. Also, coming up with the right formula was difficult at times. The actual function of a pivot table became more clear once it was applied to the project itself and not just explained in the video. The information gathered through out the completion of this project will be beneficial if I ever have to use the Excel program again.
