"any of yall basically work in excel for a living? or any excel pros"


          

I'm in final consideration for a new gig that I really, really, really want - last step is a sample project that includes building a somewhat involved dashboard in excel.

I regularly work in excel, and zip around using obvious features like basic math functions, sorting data etc - but in this case I know they're particularly assessing my excel chops and I want to pull out all the stops.

If you were building something in excel with specifically showing off an advanced skillset in mind - what special functions would you make sure to include?

I don't know wth a pivot table or a macro is, but I know they're things lol

Give me some suggestions please and thanks!
