Class Presentation

 I appreciate everyone's kind feedback for my recent PowerPoint presentation, I remember a great tip I read for public speaking which is that your body reacts the same way to nervousness and excitement so the next time you have a presentation just interpret the "sweaty palms and butterflies" as signs that your excited to show your stuff. In reality it doesn't feel much different than the anticipation before a rollercoaster or a big game if you've ever played sports. A quick word about my topic for the presentation, because I love habit formation books people assume I have great time management skills etc. In reality though I'm drawn to those books because I've struggled greatly with it and am always interested in how we can all improve on our efficiency and take better control of our lives and how we spend our time.

5.9.1 Conditional Formatting

 I chose section 5.9.1 Conditional Formatting because in my opinion it is this feature that makes Excel particularly unique. Of course it is useful to be able to input so much data but without the ability to search through this data to find the standout information, I feel that most spread sheets would end up very cluttered and almost less work to look through then their worth. It is the ability to search through the data with functions like Conditional Formatting that allows users to find trends in their numbers and come to conclusions based off of these findings.
