Task 2
I learnt certain features from Google Sheets and they are all mentioned in the Snips. Some were complex and some were too basic. I maked sure that they were the skills that were essential to making a decent excel spreadsheet. It was going to be the ones that need to be used for businessmen and people who use excel as an essential part of their work life.
From this, referring back to my previous reflection, I feel that Excel is so important because it can be used in any type of subject. It can be used to manage business work, it can be used to help to do calculations if you don't have a calculator, you can use it make timetables for your lessons and how you should use your spare time when you reach home and how you spend it. It can be used to list the possible words you can use, listing synonyms.
