I usually use Excel when exporting data from the SAP system. My main task is to create and maintain a balance sheet confirmation by using simple formulas. Excel allows us to save a lot of time and to be certain that all the invoices have been processed. I am willing to improve my Excel skills and take trainings. I have taken trainings in the past and will be doing the same if I join your company.
