Operations postings often list Excel, but what are people really using spreadsheets for day to day?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Operations teams use spreadsheets for schedules, inventories, staffing, credentials, budgets, contact lists, workback plans and post-event reporting. Useful fundamentals include clean table structure, filters, sorting, lookup functions, conditional logic, pivot tables and basic charts. More important than advanced formulas is building files that another person can understand and update safely. Practice with realistic operational data rather than isolated exercises. If you can take a messy list of people, dates or assets and turn it into a reliable tracker with clear ownership and status, you are demonstrating a skill that transfers directly to many sports roles.
