Microsoft Excel

It is so versatile. I use it instead of Calculator as I can easily see what I am calculating. I have made a simple payroll system with it and have used it for many weekly tax calculations. Calculating using fields from other pages is fantastic. Really anything you need to do with accounting can be done with it.

Two things if you don't have it free with your computer then you have to buy it and it can be kind of expensive and if you want to be able to collaborate and make on the fly changes with others then you need office 365 and you have to pay monthly you can never own it.

Excel is a versatile spreadsheet application that continues to benefit from its age, the weight and momentum behind it, and the continued focus on it as core Office app. The variety of applications of this application are what continue make it a winner.

Stemming from the same positive attributes of its age and flexibility are the downsides to its age and flexibility - its overlapping years of feature additions and subtractions to the building more on top of pre-existing structures mean that somethings need to be unpacked in order to work how you'd like them too and the robustness of the product can be daunting. Knowing that you'll never know ALL that it is capable of and that the best way to achieve anything is to picture it and then hunker down for an evening of searching and learning.

For decades Excel was the only way to go. Its ability to utilize formulas to create the documentation we needed was invaluable.

It is clunky and hard to intuit for novice users. I have always had to impose upon other users to set my sheets up to do what I wanted to do.

Microsoft Excel is the best tool for tables and data management and visualization. I like the user interface, actually, I like the user interface of all Microsoft products it is easy to use and easy to access all functions and features. Excel is a very strong application dealing with data and tables that can deal with huge numbers of data easily and can manage huge data easily without much effort and time.

Excel has many and many features and functions and the user may need a lot of time to learn Excel. Also, there are some important functions that do not exist in Excel and you have to use a third-party application to use these functions, I hope in future updates they could add those functions as built-in in Excel.
