Oh no! It looks like Excel is not your kind of software! You’re a Word kinda person, right? That’s okay though, this is a pretty technical and complicated quiz so it’s completely fine not to have done as well as you might have hoped! You can always come back to it and try again - or of course, you could do almost anything else too!

Nice! Well done! You’ve scored pretty well on this spreadsheet quiz, and it’s obvious you’re not a complete beginner when it comes to this piece of software! There is still a long way to go before you're such an Excel expert that you’ve got friends and families asking you to build them spreadsheets - but maybe that’s not a bad thing! Although, if you really want to prove your skills with the spreadsheet - why not give this quiz another go and see if you can get full marks?

Alright! Now we’re really talking! You’re someone who knows their SUM for their column, and that’s not nothing! There isn’t much behind the cells that gets past you, that's for sure! You’ve scored really well, and you should be really proud of yourself! If your knowledge of spreadsheets is this solid, we can only imagine how organised you must be! But there were a few sneaky questions that slipped past you, so if you think you've got it in you - why not give it one last try and see how you do?! Can you get full marks?!

Boom! What an epic result! You’ve scored incredibly well here! They said it couldn't be done! They said that nobody would be able to get full marks on a quiz all about Excel - but you’ve shown them! Give yourself a massive SUM shaped pat on the back and colour those individual cells in the colour of victory! (Rainbow, obvs!) So what’s next? There are loads of other quizzes on the site, so why not check them out too - maybe you’ve got what it takes to beat them too!?
