Excel is Microsoft's finest work.
I still need to learn more VBA, but it's amazing the stuff you can do with pivot tables and the basic functions within excel. Built a functional search engine with a database of information behind it just using basic excel functions. It wasn't the most elegant piece of coding, but it worked.

excel is fun to play with. Access is pretty fun as well but can be frustrating at times.

I know very little of access, but excel is my method for finishing half my homework now. I figure if I code the problem to solve correctly, I know how to solve it correctly when I'm done. It's been pretty effective thus far, though I really want it on the tests now. Slashes computation time.

Yea i had a management course this semester. I wish i would have paid more attention in access. Excel became my favorite tool in finance. We were in the finance lab so we were allowed to use excel on test. Needless to say i didn't miss any questions that could be put into excel

The most use I found was in thermo. A couple of basic tools could solve for every mass flow and enthalpy as long as I could fill in a few gaps.
Learn a little VBA while you're at it though. Writing macros can cut your time considerably after you put in the initial investment to get it coded up correctly.

I was hesitant at first with it because i was pretty good at punching all the stuff in on my graphing calc. Then i started using it because we had much longer annuities and such to solve. I also like being able to make a 30 year amortization chart in just a couple of minutes.
Excel also kicks arse for accounting.

I can't imagine accounting without it. Yes though, it's awesome when you get to those long problems or more complicated problems. My issues come with four or five equations that need to be simultaneously solved. I could go through by hand and eliminate variables or let excel just solve it in 3 seconds.

Ranting is pretty much my only vice
I don't go out much and I work weird hours. Whenever wifey and I decide to start a fambly, my posting will probably go way down.

It's a more powerful tool, but yeah it's not the easiest to learn to use.

No you don't. I got certified by Microsoft at one of their courses. Most boring 3 weeks of my life. I wouldn't wish that boredom on my worst enemy. Useful skill but still, damn.

He would absolutely love that.
Honestly if it weren't for the jacking around Uncle Sam keeps doing with wifey's and my work schedules, we'd probably have started already
