I have used Excel before in College to tally the data gathered from the survey results for our thesis and since then I have not expanded my skills on this software aside from the basic inputs and mathematical conversions.

The encounter this year is quite a hardship for me as I was assigned to create and automated system wherein for every data input and submitted is automatically tallied in a separate sheet. I basically know the idea and steps but implementing it in the software is that I am still discovering.

It is the third day already and I have not yet figured it out. I am searching for tutorials online which have not yet produced fruition, not to mention that our department has limited internet access. I resorted to the mobile data but it seems that Globe has a weak signal in this part of the city.

After a major sorting of the situation, I then finally conclude that it will really need a custom program system to achieve all of these functionalities. I resorted to making a tally sheet with sort function for options needed in the data to be tallied according to.
