Term 3
Excel
Excel has become a wonderful tool for a variety of different operations in the business world and even at home. In the excel document above a variety of stocks were listed with their share price and share purchase price. After a variety of excel equations, with the purchase value, selling value, and selling price the gains and losses for said stocks was easily calculated. Through the duration of this document the use of certain equations and conditional formatting was used. With the use of excel the correct way, organizing even confusing data becomes very simple. I was able to figure out a few simple equations during this assigment that helped substantially. If i were to do anything different to this document, it would have been formatting it just a little nicer.
