5 Mistakes to Avoid When Creating a Spreadsheet

May 07, 20261 min read

Is Excel overwhelming and frustrating? It may be because of some of these typical mistakes I see being made on a regular basis.

Excel is made to do a lot of work for you, but these mistakes take that ability away from the program. So here they are:

  1. Blank Rows & Columns

  2. Centering Numbers

  3. Entering Multiple Pieces of Information in One Cell

  4. Missing Column Headings (or with the same name)

  5. Creating Multiple Columns for a “Type” of Information

Watch the video to see why these are important to avoid.

Happy Exceling!
