Hmmm E -lie-jah, Abi should i call you Lie -nus. Cisco what? Cisco Excel? because it doesn't exist. Cisco doesn't make spreadsheet applications , they make networking hardware like router switches and firewalls.

When you so Cisco courses its for either

CCNA - Cisco Certified Network Associate
CCNP - Cisco Certified Network Professional
CCIE - Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert or
CCSA- Cisco Certified Sales sumtin i dunno

Look at u ooo! See, if u see anybody that's a pro in any level of cisco. He/she has the basics knowledge of these application softwares. Cisco isn't all about networking.

LOL! I had an interview in Prodeco Onne. The Indian Engineer needed someone, so he asked me if I know Excel, I told him yes. So he wrote down some mathematics( I don forget) and asked me can I solve it using excel with a pen, I wrote something down, he asked me if I was sure, I told him yes that he can bring his system lemme show him. We went to his system, I tried what I wrote, it didn't work. The right formula entered my brain immediately and I followed it and arrived at the answer.
He will get back to me and till now, I am still waiting (this happened in 2013)
grin
lol, you made my day

grin We all seem to be guilty. I once lied during an interview I'm proficient in excel.

Fortunately for me, the only question I was asked was the only thing I know when it comes to carrying out calculations on excel. grin

The question was, "how do you perform addition on an excel sheet"
Han Han....=sum(b1:b2)...then enter for first and 2nd column

Microsoft Excel is the best software in the world. Underestimate the power of excel at your peril. I'm also guilty of this not until I took lessons on excel. mehn, with all what I know, am still not qualified to say I'm proficient. the best word to use is intermediate. Excel rocks, especially excel VBA.

I'm holding my boss by d balls based on my knowledge of Excel vba. And I'm still a rookie o. Know vba and then u start approaching proficient.
