Excel for everyday and everyone

Reviewed on 12/02/2025

Pros

Excel became a life saviour for those who works with data regularly.
As a employ with business aside it helps me to cop up with both the data and makes it super easy to work with . The sorting, importing, and integration with other software make it the best for data handling.

Cons

Formulas to be applied should be available readily cause in the beginning it was hack of task writing right formulas

A pretty good one, I've done all kind of works with excel and there have been very few times that I have felt like there was a problem with excel and not something that I didn't know how to do.

Pros

How simple it is to use, super user oriented in a way that everything is easy to find and use.

Cons

That sometimes you can face collaboration challenges given how in today's world other tools are better at that

I'm of the generation where Excel is a synonym with Spreadsheet. I'ts ovrall a vry complete and useful tool however it's not very intuitive and it takes a good deal of time and effort to bring a newbie up to speed and have them able to succesfully use it.

Pros

It's a very complete tool. If you know how to use it, it can really be a great asset

Cons

I's very convoluted and sometimes the help-instructions are not clear. You need a good level of proficiency and a good memory in order to be able to use it well.

The experience is great. A good software that is capable of heavy use day to day.

Pros

I like the unlimited number of options it has, from entering equations to sorting data to calculating huge amounts of data.

Cons

It is not the easiest software to use. Most of the time when I try a new feature, I have to go watch a YouTube video on how to do it and how it works.
