Excel Project_Assisgnment B (June 5-June 11)

My project is called "Advanced Excel Project".

Goal

Improve my Excel skills to the advanced level by learning Excel 2007 Bible written by John Walkenback in two months.

Description

This is a real study project I set for myself in order to enhance my professional skills as well as to accommodate myself to today's business enviornment which has a dramaticlly increased reliability on the Excel.

To accomplish this project successfully, I think there are several key points.

1. Make a study plan
I have two months, which means 8 weeks and this book consists of six parts and 866 pages totally. So I decide to study one part one week, and the fourth and eighth week are the review weeks to recatch the previous parts and do some more pratices.

2. Be persistent
It is well known that study is not a easy and happy process, not to mention all these boring numbers and plenty of formulas. Even worse, all of my friends hang out on Friday night and I have to face the computer to study the "EXCEL". So I fully understand what I will encounter in the next two months, maybe frustration, depression and loneliness. However, I should keep remind myself that be persistent to my goal and do not give up halfway.

3. Practice as much as possible
To have a good command of any software, besides the basic operating knowledge, I think another important aspect is the practice. The more you pratice, the more you learn.

I will keep practicing while studing the material of this book. For example, using Excel to do some finanical budget for my friends or for a fictitious entity, etc.
