This particular project was helpful and refreshing. A year ago I had actually taken a computer applications course, which dealt with learning the main programs by Microsoft Office. All of the tasks excluding the pivot tables I had already learned so it wasn't much of a challenge for me during the project. That being said, I found it refreshing because this project enabled me to use the tools I had previously learned and apply them for a specific purpose. The pivot tables were a great part of the project because it allowed me to learn and apply an extremely creative and useful tool within Excel. I can now see why businesses view this as a powerful tool, which can drastically save time and increase accuracy towards specified areas within the company.
