Pros

A program that allows you to do calculations without using any other program, except for very detailed analysis (logistic regression) (non parametric regression) (manova).

A program that is so large that it is impossible to use or know how to use all its add-ons.

Cons

Pros

It is endlessly customizable. It's obviously great at calculations and typical data analytics, but is also a wonderful project management tool and, with some creativity, can be used in live presentations.

Cons

I wish there was more in-depth help within excel when your formula isn't formatted correctly. There are lots of resources online and Microsoft's website, but you have to leave the application.

Review of Excel

Reviewed on 2024-10-19

Pros

I use Excel in an everyday basis to collect, edit, explore and visualise data. I do the same thing with Jupyter but for a quick first view on data without coding it's usually the best tools to do this.

Cons

The only matter regarder Excel is the lack of connectivity with other product. It only connect with Microsoft Office product.
