This makes it simple to present data efficiently and complete numerical tasks with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic Excel users will understand the core functions of the software and have knowledge of a few essential formulas that allow you to manage spreadsheets proficiently. Here are five basic Excel skills that you could benefit from including in your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The SUM Formula<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The SUM function in Excel allows you to easily find the total of any number of values that you\u2019ve selected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of examples of this formula would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>=SUM(A4:A16) adds the values in cells A4 to A16.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>=SUM(A4:A16, C7:C20) adds the values in cells A4 to A16, as well as cells C7 to C20.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The AVERAGE Formula<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The AVERAGE formula in Excel provides you with the average (mean) of any number of values you input.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, using the formula =AVERAGE(B4:B35) will return the mean value of the numbers between cells B4 and B35.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/typing-on-computer.jpg\" alt=\"Typing on laptop keyboard\" class=\"wp-image-64759\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charts and Graphs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to convert data into relevant charts and graphs is a vital skill to make visualising and comparing numeric data easier. Using this skill will save time spent searching through spreadsheets to find relationships and trends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excel offers a large library of various graphs and charts, so you can choose the one that best represents your data. Here are five examples of the most useful charts and graphs available in Excel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Column chart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar chart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pie chart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Line chart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scatter graph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sorting Data<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s often important to organise your data to identify which parts are relevant and which are not. Excel\u2019s sorting and filtering functions allow you to easily read your data to find what you\u2019re looking for within it. For example, it can help you find duplicates within your data or identify specific values quickly. A few examples of ways you can easily organise your data using Excel filters are alphabetically, in ascending or descending numerical order, or by colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find and Replace<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a large amount of data in an Excel spreadsheet, it can be hard to find a specific value or label. Luckily, Excel\u2019s Find tool makes this easy, and is therefore a useful skill to learn in order to save valuable time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you may find that you have a word or number running through your data that needs updating. The Replace function allows you to do this in one simple step, rather than updating the data cell by cell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/working-on-laptop.jpg\" alt=\"Working at a laptop\" class=\"wp-image-64754\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Advanced Excel Skills?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rise of big data and data analytics, businesses are increasingly looking to hire people with a high level of experience in Excel. Therefore, learning a few of these more advanced skills will make you a great asset to employers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas simple formulas such as SUM and AVERAGE will help you begin to make sense of data sets, these more complex formulas available in Excel will help you analyse and utilise data to really benefit a business. Here are a few you should focus on to build a desirable skill set in handling data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VLOOKUP<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The VLOOKUP formula in Excel allows you to search for a certain value in a column in order to return a value from a different column in the same row. For example, it enables you to search for the price of a product by its identification code, or find an employee\u2019s name from their ID number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, if you need to compare two data sets to see which information is missing from one, or which data is present in both, VLOOKUP can help you do this quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pivot Tables<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re working with large data sets in Excel, Pivot Tables are a great way to summarise information and explore trends from many different records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PivotTables are very versatile. They allow you to group and reorganise data in many different ways to help you view it from various perspectives and draw useful conclusions easily. Additionally, PivotTables allow matching data to be automatically grouped so you can achieve summaries that are easy to view and analyse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conditional Formatting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Conditional formatting makes it simple to highlight specific values by changing the appearance of a cell range based on specific criteria. For example, you could use conditional formatting to highlight dates after a specific week, numbers between 50 and 100, or the bottom 10% of values in your data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, conditional formatting can be used to create a colour scale where a cell\u2019s colour intensity reflects its position towards the top or bottom of a range, for example the amount of revenue made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/looking-at-data.jpg\" alt=\"Interviewer going through a CV\" class=\"wp-image-64757\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TRIM Function<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Formulas make managing data much easier, however they can have their own complications. Sometimes, when using a formula, you may be returned with null values. This is often caused by extra blank spaces hiding amongst numeric and text values in your cells. Luckily, the TRIM function can help you remove these blank spaces easily, so you can return to using your formulas without difficulty. Here\u2019s an example of how the TRIM function works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>=TRIM(A1) Would remove all excess blank spaces within the A1 cell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The COUNTIF Formula<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The COUNTIF function in Excel is used to count cells that have certain properties, so it can be useful if you want to find out how many times an entry appears in a spreadsheet. An example of this would be if you wanted to identify how many customers are located in a particular place, in which case you may use the following formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=COUNTIF(A2:A45,\u201dLondon\u201d) which would search for how many times the term London appears between cells A2 and A45.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Describe My Excel Skills on a CV or Resume?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to include your Excel skills on a job application as many professional positions require numeric or data analysis skills, so highlighting these can help you stand out in the crowded job market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by describing your level of proficiency in Excel, using some of the examples of basic and more advanced skills included in this article. It\u2019s a good idea to list skills that you are comfortable with, and describe how these have benefitted business in your previous roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than listing all of your Excel skills, however, try to choose the ones that will be most useful for the role you\u2019re applying for, or that are mentioned in the job description. This keeps your CV relevant and targeted to specific employers so you stand out as a strong candidate for the position they\u2019re hiring for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to help accurately describe your Excel skills is to reference any courses you\u2019ve taken to improve your digital skills. This not only gives employers an accurate insight into your current skill set, but also demonstrates that you have initiative and are invested in personal development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for your first role, our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/how-to-write-your-first-cv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Write Your First CV<\/a> provides guidance on how to stand out to potential employers, and includes a free template to help you get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/checking-cv.jpg\" alt=\"Employer looking at a CV\" class=\"wp-image-64753\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Improving Your Excel Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not yet proficient in the Excel functions described here, don\u2019t worry!
