Are you an Excel Expert?

I scored as a power user. Twice. Didn't bother to check the answers. I wonder what happens if you get them all right, are you an expert?

Speaking of experts, Gray Knowlton mentioned in a tweet that there are a lot of self-described Excel experts on Elance. I looked at some of them and they are just cheap data entry labor. Here's one provider's description of themselves:

Just trust and try us once. You won't be looser.

I think that speaks for itself.

    Hmm, so by their definition, a Power User is expected to know as much about the history of Excel as actually be able to use it. Add in a couple of questions about the version not yet released, and a keyboard shortcut.

    I think that says as much about Microsoft's marketing department as needs saying… Who actually cares about, you know, actually doing any work?
