This community service program aims to empower santri (Islamic boarding school students) through training in data processing skills using Microsoft Excel as an effort to enhance their digital literacy. The activity began with a needs analysis conducted through observations and interviews with dayah stakeholders to identify the students’ initial abilities and available facilities. Based on the analysis, the training curriculum, instructional modules, and practical materials were developed. The training was implemented through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, covering basic Excel operations, simple formulas, data processing, and data visualization using charts. The results showed a significant improvement in the participants’ abilities, indicated by the increase in post-test scores compared to the pre-test, as well as their capacity to complete case-based exercises independently. Furthermore, several santri successfully applied their newly acquired skills in administrative tasks such as attendance recording, simple financial documentation, and inventory management. Overall, this program effectively supported the development of digital literacy among santri and contributed to strengthening administrative functions within the dayah environment. The outcomes of this initiative are expected to serve as a reference for future training programs aimed at enhancing digital competence in Islamic educational institutions.
