The MS Excel online test assesses knowledge of organizing, calculating, analyzing, and visualizing data within a spreadsheet. This test requires downloading template files, performing required tasks within MS Excel (including the free web version), and uploading the file for automatic evaluation.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Writing formulas to perform calculations and look up data from a reference range.
- Organize and summarize large data sets with sorting, filtering, and pivot table tools.
- Creating and customizing charts to communicate data graphically.
A good candidate for any job requiring the use of spreadsheets should be able to use MS Excel to efficiently process data and create accurate reports.
Sample public questions

- On 'Sheet2', they need all orders for the period before the 1st of July, 2018, and all orders for the period after the 31st of August, 2018.
Your task is to download the file 'TimeFilters-RawData.xlsx’ file and execute this request. When you have completed your work, save it in .xlsx format, then upload that file for evaluation.
You have been asked to create a column chart and need to make it look the same as the chart provided in the image below.

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
