Current Events > I have a Microsoft excel assessment due by the end of the day

(+) Yeah! (+)

I expect to bomb it in cringe-inducing fashion. But! it will take me a step closer to understanding my true path.

I once got a job offer at the end of an Excel test. I was supposed to go through another round of interviews.

I turned them down, because it felt like they were trying to lock me down before I figured out the company sucked.

When in doubt, vlookup

Very? I can do the common requirements of lookups, sumifs, pivots, etc. Can do automation via VBA or Power Query. And I understood and could explain the business logic for the more open ended questions.

all right I did it. it took longer than someone who is good but I think I at least got the idea. I'm not used to these tables so we'll see, I could be entirely wrong.

there was a SQL question and I think I got that completely wrong. I didn't even understand whether they wanted me to make a new table or use the ones they provided.

You should give up spreadsheets for 40 days.

It'll be Excel Lent.
