Abstract In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the role of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) subjects was very much needed for students as a provision for them to face the changes and demands of the times. Since the implementation of the 2013 curriculum (K-13), ICT is only taught at Vocational High Schools for cross-interest or deepening of interest in the information and communication technology field, not generally required. Vocational School acts as a school that organizes vocational education that implements expertise programs such as mechanical engineering, offices, fine arts, catering, administration, etc. which can provide provisions, one of which is hard skills that support professional skills. Operating a computer is part of the hard skills, students need to have skills in operating the programs found in Windows and the program most often used is Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Excel is generally known as a number processing software or it can be said as a sheet application program that functions to process data automatically such as calculations, formulas, use of functions, tables, graphs and data management to create information data used in the context of decision making. Utilization of computer lab facilities that have not been maximally used by students because there are no subjects directly related to computers so that the use of computer programs such as Microsoft Excel has not been maximally applied in schools. With the existence of training activities related to Microsoft Excel which is carried out at SMK YPSEI, it is hoped that students will have the skills to use computer applications as ICT facilities in practice. The purpose of this activity is to provide education for students about Microsoft Excel computer programs. The training method uses the tutorial method accompanied by pre-test and post-test.
