![]() This level should score at most three on an Excel Skill- Scale of one to ten. Armed with these, the basic user can do a lot in number computation, data presentation beyond static data presentation and printing. Additionally, an understanding of the spreadsheet inter-face and the ability to do subtractions, multiplications and division are inclusive in the calculation skills that a basic uses should have for use. ![]() Basic users should know how to apply these functions in formulas within spreadsheets. On functions, I accept as default, the list of functions you get when you click on the drop-down button of the auto-sum icon – SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT NUMBERS, MAX and MIN. The only permissible exceptions (just my opinion) are using formulas in conditional formats and the ARRANGE group in the Page layout tab. On a standard note, I propose that the basic skill level for Microsoft Excel should be an in-depth knowledge of three ribbons Tabs and their tools – The HOME Tab, The PAGE LAYOUT Tab and the VIEW Tab. With these tools, a user can present static data on a spreadsheet and afterwards claims that s/he uses Microsoft Excel appreciably well. ![]() The Clipboard, Font, Alignment and Number groups in the HOME tab are similar to those found in Microsoft Word. Especially for persons who may have used such application as Microsoft Word. What should define the basic level of skill in Microsoft Excel? When you first open Microsoft Excel, there are those tasks that you can do just by simply responding to the user friendly interface of the application. So is the expert level user who must have been through all it takes to be a basic user and an intermediate user. Put other ways, the intermediate level users must have acquired all the skills a basic level user should have and use. It is important to point out here that in my opinion, these levels are in a continuum and therefore, anyone claiming any of these levels implies progressive skill acquisition through the continuum. I propose four levels – the basic Level, the intermediate Level, the expert Level and the Advanced Level. In this post, I attempt to define levels of skill and the content of these levels of skill in Microsoft Excel. Yet, work organizations keep seeking ways to determine the level of skill of job candidates in the application of Microsoft Excel. The definition of skill level in Microsoft Excel is still agreed by many to be relative- I inclusive.
