I have learned a whole Death Star load of stuff about Excel. I have learned how to actually use Excel (so now I can chart out many standard galactic units I lost when Alderaan’s stock went down), and how to do formulas and make graphs. This will really come in handy when I go back to Tatooine and have to show the statistics of how many humanoids die or are injured in pod races.
I learned how to type in formulas into the different cells so that I don’t have to do math manually. This is very good, because when I began writing out my plans for how to create a lightsaber, I messed up my math and blew it up. Master Yoda would have been so upset if he had known! I learned how to average the numbers in two different cells, or add them, or subtract them. I also learned about Paste Special, where I can go and just paste what I need to instead of the whole thing. Another thing I learned was that when I get all number signs, it does not mean that Excel is cussing me out like I originally thought, but that I need to expand the column widths. I am so glad that I figured this out on my own, because if the Sith Lord had seen me, he would have cut off my hand.
I did not know that I could duplicate my excel sheets and place them on top of one another. That was a cool thing to learn; I now understand why Obi-Wan was so stoked when he stumbled upon all the many clones that were being made for the Republic. It really comes in handy to have more than one copy of the same thing! I also learned how to use the currency button to write in all of the dollar signs for me. If only they had the symbol for standard galactic units! Then I wouldn’t have to draw them in for the chart of how much money Lord Vader has spent at the Death Star cantina!
