About the Microsoft Excel test
The Microsoft Excel test is designed to assess a candidate's ability to use Excel proficiently across a variety of tasks. This includes basic to advanced operations, with a focus on the skills necessary to analyze, organize, and present data effectively. The test covers the use of common Excel formulas, such as SUM, AVERAGE, VLOOKUP, IF statements, and advanced functions like INDEX and MATCH.
