The BOK is open-ended ended with the top level embracing all miscellaneous skills and future developments in EXCEL.

Under the guidance of the BOK, all cases are tallied to the corresponding knowledge level so that our viewers may learn which areas they are good at and which require a bit more work. For each case, the course illustrates what the issues are, why the issues, and how to solve them.
