  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Throughout these duties, I gained a lot of knowledge of formulas in Excel and VBA codes...besides I was also influenced by a lot of dashboard suggestions on Pinterest to establish the perfect one for each project. As a result, I attempted to build a KPI dashboard using Excel and PowerBI and introduced it to the supervisors for reviews.
