One example I could share with Jamie to show him the usefulness of Excel is that you could also use it to get quick totals on items you might be buying and want to know if you are within your budget. Two projects that would be more appropriate to create in Excel, instead of Word or PowerPoint is time management and data analysis because with excel you get to see more of the numbers while powerpoint is just slide to show what you are thinking while excel get more into the financial stuff. A tip or useful practice, when using Excel, that might help Jamie become more comfortable with the software is to always save your work as you go incase your laptop or phone might run out batery
