The ability to process data using accounting and office software, such as Microsoft Excel, has become crucial for students—both for completing academic assignments and for preparing to enter the workforce. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the technical competencies of students from West Kalimantan who are pursuing their studies in Yogyakarta, through intensive Microsoft Excel training. The program employed a combination of lectures, guided demonstrations, and hands-on practice using real-world case studies. The training took place at the West Kalimantan Student Dormitory in Yogyakarta and was attended by 24 participants. The curriculum covered basic arithmetic functions, logical functions, text manipulation, lookup functions, chart creation, and data analysis using Pivot Tables, all based on the provided "MATERI PELATIHAN.xlsx" (Training Material) document. The initiative revealed a high level of enthusiasm among the participants, as the material presented was highly relevant to their academic and professional needs. Through this training, participants successfully improved both their theoretical understanding and practical skills in using Microsoft Excel, thereby supporting them in the completion of their final academic projects and enhancing their job readiness.
