Pelatihan Penggunaan Aplikasi Spreadsheet di Desa Tolulos Kecamatan Peling Tengah

Abstract

This Community Service activity was conducted in Tolulos Village, Peling Tengah District, with the aim of enhancing the knowledge and skills of village government officials and MSME operators in using spreadsheet applications to assist with administrative and data management. The identified issues stemmed from limited proficiency in systematically inputting, processing, calculating, and presenting data using spreadsheet software. The activity employed a training and hands-on practice approach, preceded by preliminary observation and coordination. The training curriculum covered an introduction to spreadsheet applications, table creation and management, data entry techniques, the use of basic formulas, and the preparation of simple data summaries. Participants were given the opportunity to apply the material directly using sample data relevant to village administration and business management needs. The results demonstrated an improvement in understanding and skills regarding data entry, table creation, and the use of simple formulas for calculations. For the village government, spreadsheets facilitate administrative record-keeping, while MSME operators can utilize them to track income, expenses, and sales figures. This activity is expected to enhance the effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency of data management while fostering the independent use of digital technology.
