    Anyone in Australia/New Zealand do the ICAS exams? I got the highest score in computer skills, Year 7 Queensland! I get a medal on December 1st.

    I used to do them... But when I did the computer skills one a few years back... all the questions were about excel which I'd never used.

    LOL. It had few excel ones this time too. Used process of elimination. such as adding up.
    what cell has the function A2-B2 is the cell that has the the same as A2-B2, eg. C2

    I Used to do them myself for the computer exams, Got a few High Distinctions it was always, and I mean ALWAYS the excel questions that threw me off, I didn't think they realized it was an obsolete program or something...

    Still, I Don't think many people use Excel at all, Sure powerpoint, and word but excel just seems useless to me.

    It's useless if you don't know how to use it and/or don't need it.

    Indeed, From what I Can gather it is used for formulas and for making tables, but there are much easier and useful free programs out there for sure.
