Work Smarter, Not Harder Pretend your little company recorded all of their invoices in a financial program. This software allowed you to export that information into Microsoft Excel. You have a lot of questions and Excel can help you analyze the data. Your goal is to look at the sales numbers. The invoices are sorted by month. For each record, can you see who sold what?  To whom?  For how much? Start Microsoft Excel. When the Welcome screen appears, open a new, blank workbook. What do you see from the top of the screen? Is there a Home Ribbon? And the Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data. Review and View Ribbons as well? Yes. Then you are ready to go.
