If data size is very large, pc can freeze.

Very functional to any kinds of task we have such as tracking purposes, making calculator for complicated table sheet, data analysis, and organize almost all kinds of data and information.

I think learning formula is just too difficult but that's all. Once you learned complicated formula, you have the edge compare to your peers.

I use excel all the time, I balance our books, track employees, pull reports from other apps we use and put them into excel and sort in a way that is important to the owners. I also use excel to do our billing and create our invoices. I know there are other apps that can do this, but I am comfortable with excel and it is working for our company. I highly recomend Excel! There is always more to learn with this software as it can do so much!

There is a lot more to this than what I use is for. I wish I had time to learn more about it!

i like v lookup functionality in the Microsoft excel. also Data visualization, conditional formatting and find and replace features are also very useful and liked it

there are too many formulas and shortcuts but its very hard to find and remind all those at one place

Easy to synchronize data with cloud
WBA script for automations

No option to add python scripts to automate tasks

Our sales team gathers emails of potential customers when we are at Shows, when we return from the shows, we typically will take the emails and enter them into an Excel spreadsheet. It keeps things clean, and it’s easy to use. Reliable.

We don’t have many issues with excel. It’s pretty straightforward both how it is used and how we need to use it. Works well.

What I like most about Excel is that it is an extremely versatile software and is useful for any skill level. Those with limited experience will find value in the ability to make sort-able lists or to store numerical values that they can do simple equations on.

Beyond Excel's most basic functions - the sky is the limit. There are so many efficiencies that Excel can help to facilitate, and the functions that can utilized are more plentiful than one can imagine. Users can write "formulas" that will take data from other cells and manipulate that data into something more useful. You can turn your data set into a chart so you can easily visualize the information. You can use the PivotTable function to quickly take a data set and create a table of information where you can easily change the variable you want to analyze. You can instruct an Excel file to pull data from an online source to automatically keep your data set current. You can even write a type of program within the Excel software called a macro. A macro can do all sorts of things but is primarily utilized to automate step by step tasks that are necessary to complete on a recurring basis. A macro is essentially a way to let the software do the boring repetitive work for you.

If you have a set of data and there is something you want to do with it there IS a way to do that in Excel. You might not know how to create the formula on your own, and you may not even imagine that a formula could possibly accomplish what you are wanting to do, but there is. You may have to combine a could of steps to get the result you want, but if you can see the value in doing more work in the present for less work in the future then spending some time perfecting things will save you so much time going forward.

If you encounter a problem and you don't know where to start or what the correct formula is - just use a search engine and type your question in and hit search. There are an abundance of video tutorials and message board postings from other users who have already solved the problem you are trying to figure out.

My qualms with Excel are mostly superficial in nature. Sometimes changing the axis value on a chart can be confusing. If you have numbers entered into a cells that is a cell for a date or text it will display differently than you want so you have to go and adjust it. Importing data from a source that isn't designed to import to Excel is very hit or miss. However, none of the Cons even begin to sway me away from the Pros

Organize reports with functions using visual charts and visual models

The risk of losing original data arises when there are many versions of one report changes are made and not kept track of.

The main reason I still use Excel are the macros, these are very helpful as it allows us to export every workbook sheet as PDF files (this is the macro I use every day) and add many other functionalities to it. Another feature that make excel stand are the formulas, they help me with importing large amount of data automatically from other Excel workbooks and make automatic calculation based on the newly imported data. There are great features witch saves me a lot of time.

Mobile app is somehow limited in use, is good for view but is hard to work on it.
