Excel Exercises

Excel is a fundamental program in business. Whether you are processing inventory, crunching data, or just trying to keep projects organized, becoming fluent in Excel will be one of your biggest takeaways from BUS 104 — and it will help you in future BMCC courses and beyond.

The exercises we will complete throughout this semester are geared at providing the basic building blocks of Excel proficiency, and making you a more confident user. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about learning the skills.

We will be working through this Open Educational Resource in its entirety (Beginning Excel 2019). By the end, you’ll be an Excel whiz!

Please make sure you allow ample time to complete these exercises. On “Excel Days” (refer to our Course Schedule) please come ready to ask questions about the sections you’ve read, and the scored assessment if you have gotten started.

If you don’t have Excel on your computer, you’re in luck — BMCC provides all students with free downloads. Click here to find out more and download the program for yourself.
