This was announced online by the organizers during the Grand Closing event held on Sunday (June 5, 2022).
This national scale competition was also attended by various students from all universities in Indonesia.
In this competition, Putri chose the office administration competition branch in the data processing category with the theme “Training Office Automation on Gen-Z in the Era of Society 5.0”.
In the data processing category, participants were challenged to analyze and process the data presented in the questions as precisely and effectively as possible by applying formulas in Microsoft Excel. The data was then presented in engaging and easy-to-understand visuals. Putri and the other participants were given two hours to complete the questions.
Despite the lack of a mentor, Putri didn’t find it difficult to succeed. She explained that her interest in learning various formulas in Microsoft Excel began in junior high school. She believes this was the key to her success in winning the title.
“Since junior high school I have been studying Excel formulas, so when I took part in this competition No “It’s too difficult,” said Putri to the UI FMIPA Public Relations team.
In this way, he admitted that he did not feel confused when determining an effective formulation for managing data and presenting it.
“I think what probably set me apart from the other participants was choosing the most appropriate and effective Excel formulas. Furthermore, I presented the data visualization in the form of charts neatly and attractively,” he added.
Apart from that, Putri also pays close attention to every sentence that will be used to analyze the data.
“I also analyzed the data by choosing sentences that were easy to understand and not being long-winded in answering questions based on the data provided,” said Putri.
Putri further explained that remaining calm while processing data is equally important. This helps avoid distractions that can lead to a loss of concentration. Concentration and clarity of thought are essential for optimal results.
