Unlike most other things with origins in the mid-1980s, Microsoft Excel is still relevant today, and to an impressive degree. According to a recent study conducted by SourceMedia Research for the software firm Paxata, 68 percent of modern businesses use Excel as their primary data profiling and prep tool. Not too bad for a 34-year-old spreadsheet program.
So what does that mean for you? Well, if you know how to use Excel, it means you've got a valuable skill set in the eyes of prospective employers. And if you're certified in Excel? That's even better: Those credentials can be used to leverage a higher salary or better position; at the very least, the certification will make you stand out in competitive applicant pools when you're job hunting.
