How important is it to learn SQL while working in a job that requires Microsoft Office experience?

I am asking because I had applied and passed my Microsoft Certification tests and am two tests away from earning an MOS Master Certificate, and although I have passed the MOS Access Certification, I noticed that while making tables that one can code with SQL. So, I wonder how often one would use this on a job and/or at home. #microsoft-office #microsoft-access #it-certifications #office-administation #office-certifications

It is not mandatory. It will give some edge over others. It will be good to understand how you can filter the data, store the data etc. Concepts may be helpful in dealing data with Excel.

Hi Brandon,
SQL is the programming language for managing data. Since almost every programming application in existence interacts with data in one way or another, it’s understandable that SQL would be high on the lists of requested skills and high-paying jobs. Indeed.com lists over 20,000 jobs in SQL paying over $100K per year. It is one of the core studies that you will need to update often to stay on top of your game.

Hi Brandon, it will be a plus. Having some basic SQL experience will open up new opportunities for you. Using Excel will develop your skills in using tables, but using SQL will show you how data in different tables can be associated, searched, or connected. It will take things to a whole new level.
