What Is Spreadsheet Proficiency?

Apply spreadsheet proficiency deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that spreadsheet proficiency directly affects.

Why Does Spreadsheet Proficiency Matter?

Spreadsheet Proficiency matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by spreadsheet proficiency can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying spreadsheet proficiency may:

  • uses spreadsheet proficiency deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by spreadsheet proficiency
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what spreadsheet proficiency requires

How to Develop Spreadsheet Proficiency

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where spreadsheet proficiency is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles spreadsheet proficiency and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger spreadsheet proficiency would have changed the result
