Here at JPL we thought this was a great ‘test’. We also liked how it covers a topic in our Basic Excel course which looks at a concept called BODMAS. You may know the concept of BODMAS from your days back at school in the maths classroom.. This concept dictates the order in which calculations are performed in an Excel formula.
Although it might not apply to your work regularly, BODMAS is an important concept to know about in Excel. It is important to remember that Excel is a program and so it carries out calculations based on how it was programmed to do so.
