Most people use about 10% of what Excel can do. Gabriel digs into the functions that actually save time — VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, pivot tables, conditional formatting — and shows students how to structure spreadsheets so the data answers questions instead of just sitting in rows.

Spreadsheets become genuinely powerful once you move past basic formulas into VLOOKUP, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and data visualization. Florence's computer science background at Duke means she thinks algorithmically about data problems, which translates directly into teaching students h...

Mica's Science, Technology, and Society degree at Stanford meant constant data wrangling — organizing research datasets, running analyses, and presenting findings in structured formats. She brings that academic rigor to Excel sessions, tackling everything from formula logic and data cleanup to build...

Computational science at MIT requires wrangling large datasets, and Excel is often the first tool Tim reaches for when cleaning, sorting, and visualizing data before moving to heavier platforms. He covers formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and conditional formatting with an emphasis on building spread...

Spreadsheets power everything from lab data analysis to personal budgeting, and Pratik uses Excel regularly for coursework at Cornell — building formulas, pivot tables, and conditional formatting into real workflows. He walks through functions like VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, and array formulas with concr...

Research in psychology and global health generates massive datasets, and Martha uses Excel daily to clean, organize, and analyze them — pivot tables, VLOOKUP, conditional formatting, and basic macros are all part of her workflow. She teaches students to think about what they need from their data fir...

Most people use about 10% of what Excel can do, but the real power kicks in with VLOOKUP, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and array formulas. Tolu's economics degree from Stanford meant living in spreadsheets for data analysis, and he connects Excel skills to practical scenarios — budgeting mo...

Adam's statistics and data analysis coursework in cognitive science meant living inside spreadsheets — building formulas, cleaning datasets, and using pivot tables to make sense of experimental results. He teaches Excel as a practical tool rather than an abstract skill set, covering everything from ...

Spreadsheet fluency is a core requirement in Andrew's Labor and Industrial Relations program at Cornell, where he regularly builds models using formulas, pivot tables, and data visualization tools. He teaches Excel by starting with the task a student actually needs to accomplish — whether that's org...

Excel is where math, data, and real-world decision-making converge — building financial models, automating calculations with VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH, or visualizing trends with pivot tables. Rahi's engineering and applied math training means he thinks in formulas and structured data by default. He t...
