Why master Microsoft Excel?

MS Excel has now become an indispensable tool in every domain; be it Finance, Tax, Audit or IT. With the growing abundance
of resources in these fields, it is now imperative for individuals to differentiate themselves from their peers. While gaining
further functional knowledge is definitely one way, another quick way to create a niche for oneself is by mastering the most
important enabler/tool in your domain: MS Excel.
Mastering MS Excel would enable an individual to do tasks, which would otherwise have taken hours, in a matter of minutes.
Learning aspects like Pivots, Advanced formulas, Advanced Formatting, Macros, and Charting & Dashboards etc. would assist
individuals in tasks like auditing, financial analysis, modeling, management presentations, summarization etc.
Mastering Excel would enable you to spend less time on collating and worrying about data accuracy issues, and allow you to
actually spend more time and efforts towards the analysis of data! Using MS Excel as a CAAT (Computer Assisted Audit
Technique) tool would help in digging out issues which might otherwise not be visible to the naked eye.
