What I learned in Excel is how to utilize charts to display data. I was not proficient in Excel at all prior to this course and have had coworkers in the past create charts to display vehicle and communication statuses in the Army. Now I fully understand how to take information from a table and convert it into an easy to read chart. Charts are also aesthetically pleasing and displays data in a more organized way. With this knowledge I plan to use charts to organize data to help be more organized with jobs in the field of Computer and Information Technology.

Display data in charts is important as it makes large amount of numbers digestible to audience :-) Some say making data digestible is be more important than the precision or accuracy of the data as if the data is not easily digestible, it doesn't matter if the data is precise or even accurate!
