<p>Is there a class teaching how to use excel like how to use spreadsheet and other staff? If so, what's the name of it? Thank you</p>
<p>UGBA 104 Analytic Decision Modeling Using Spreadsheets?</p>
<p>You can learn excel by opening up excel and pressing F1.That’s seriously it.</p>
<p>If you’re more interested in being spoon-fed there’s this:</p>

<p>There are also many free online tutorials all over if you search for them. Hell, you can even watch very specific tutorials on Youtube if you want.</p>
<p>The 104 professor specifically said they don’t explicitly teach excel, but just use it a lot. UC Berkeley students can buy the SimNet McGraw Hill excel training program for 50% discount. This program is what ugba 104 recommends students to take who are unfamiliar with excel.</p>
<p>Seriously, an excel class is kind of a vocational school level thing, not a class that a top university would be teaching. There are plenty of adult education things that the CCs run through the year for that kind of stuff, or all the excellent suggestions above.</p>
<p>Seriously, the vast majority don’t know how to program Excel ;)</p>
<p>nor do the vast majority know how to repair an engine, build an addition on a home, resole a shoe, file medical records properly, or cook at volume in a restaurant kitchen. Still vocational skills, not something that you expect a class in at Cal.</p>
<p>I took an excel class at my community college. It was honestly one of the best classes I took. You can definitely explore excel yourself and look at youtube for help, but in the class I was able to learn to do things waaaaaay more efficiently.</p>
<p>If you’re smart enough to get into Cal, you don’t need a class to learn Excel. Press F1 and start reading. If that’s too dense, search up a few tutorials on how to make a spreadsheet. If that fails, get a friend to teach you how to use it.</p>
<p>^ now you’re making me feel dumb, lol.</p>
<p>I knew how to make spreadsheets beforehand, but the excel class helped me to do things a lot quicker.</p>
<p>So there is a class that teaches Matlab, Python, and the similar programs, but not Excel which is one of the most commonly used program in business and we’re making a rather irrelevant argument that Cal has too high standards to teach excel…</p>
<p>Too bad there is no class like E7 or CS61A or CS9 that exclusively teaches a certain program.</p>
<p>Excel is much more powerful tool than people think, and there certainly should be a class on it to make sure that every student knows how to use every function in excel without a mouse.</p>
<p>i agree, there should be a 1 unit class on it. Some people just don’t have the self-control or patience to teach themselves and need a classroom environment.</p>
<p>I’d argue that there’s no class that teaches “Matlab” or “Python” either.</p>
<p>E7 teaches you how to use computers to do tedious calculations thru the use of Matlab, CS61A teaches various programming concepts thru the use of Python, and CS9 teaches basic programming thru the use of the respective languages of the specific course. Of course, learning the tools are all part of the course, but they’re not explicitly taught.</p>
<p>You should have learned how to do a spreadsheet in middle school or high school. Excel is just one of many tools to do that. Other include LibreOffice Calc, Lotus 123, Google Spreadsheet, etc.</p>
<p>Excel is more than just filling the cells or clicking on one of those icons. One credit teaching Excel VBA would be good, especially for those who would like to go into finance. Sure, if you have some programming background, you’d pick up VBA in no time. If you don’t, a class would be good.</p>
<p>I’m in stats 2 and the professor offers excel training sessions for people who don’t know how to use it</p>
