I have been following a story of how more than half of the jobs in some developed countries will be taken over by machines in the next decade.

Atomization and digitization are not new to us. Over the last decade or so, computers and machines have penetrated our workplaces to the core. Every other day, there’s a new application or software that is alleged to make work easier.

However, most of these platforms and software do not seem to last. A newer version or a better one seems to come out and replace the former almost immediately.

It is hard to find a program that has withstood the atomization battle. Microsoft Excel is such a program. Since its invention in the late 20th century, Excel has cemented its place both in our lives and in the job market. Rightly so! Excel has myriad functionalities that can actually make your work easier.

Whether you’re trying to make sense of raw data, or organize numbers, or even create conclusions from the data, Excel is the platform to use.

In an independent report carried out in late 2018, it was revealed that over 80% of all jobs actually require Spreadsheet and Word processing skills.

To many of us, we view Excel as a platform to create tables and numbers. However, the program does much more than just that. Here are four reasons why you should definitely learn Excel.

1. Excel solves your company’s problems

Do you need to have a questionnaire that you carried out about your company? Do you want to compare and relate the answers from one question with that of another? Excel can help you do that!

With Excel, you can also present your findings to the marketing and sales teams. Furthermore, you can make recommendations based on your data.
