i am using this software from 2024 and i am in the love with Microsoft excel, this software has changed my life, now i am analyzing the large database of our company within seconds and able to add the insights from the data. also it is helping me to find and remove the duplicate entries from the databases. There is no other software in the market to compete with this software and by using this i saved 40-50 hours per week minimum and increased my efficiency by 5x.

Pros

All features are very good in the Microsoft excel but i liked the function of adding the formulas to large database and creating pivot tables, sorting our the numbers based on required parameters, and v lookup functionality is very good

Cons

the software interface looks like very old, they need to improve the interface only, rest all features are the best

I have used Excel for many years and have come to find it useful for data management in business, personal and recreational ways.

Pros

Excel has been great at making charts and managing massive lists or data charts

Cons

There are so many features in excel that Icannot keep up. Not a bad thing just hard to keep up. The charge of a monthly fee to use Office software is annoying and has led to me using other free applications more than excel.

I've been using Excel for 35 years and have found it an essential tool. It isn't just for tracking numbers. It makes your data more useable.

Pros

Excel has powerful features. For beginners, the basic features are easy to learn. For people with more advanced needs, the power of Excel makes life a lot easier.

Cons

I use the 365 version and I wish that the online and desktop versions were more similar.

Microsoft Excel is a great tool overall. It has been a great tool to organize information in a work environment. The icons at the top of the excel files make it easy to create and edit information.

Pros

Using Microsoft Excel, makes it easy to organize things for my work environment. It is easy to save and find those items that are readily used at the top of the spreadsheet for everyday usage.

Cons

There are templates but I don't feel the templates have enough choices. For instance, I was looking for a calendar that had weekly dates and daily times that I could customize for daily 24-hour periods but there was none. If it was there in the choices, I really could not find it, and I ended up using different software in order to create the schedule I needed. I wanted to create my own calendar but could not. Anytime I want to try to create something new in excel, it becomes a challenge as a beginner user. The help function is at times not user friendly for beginners. I usually would have to ask a coworker for assistance or go through multiple YouTube feeds to get an understanding of tasks I want to learn quickly. In the case of the calendar, the help function seemed to only refer me to templates based on the drop-down choices.

Overall, Microsoft Excel is my go-to software when it comes to generating tables, charts, graphs and presentations even at the basic level. It is not an intimidating software with all complex commands that takes you away from a beneficial use of it.

Pros

What I like most about Microsoft Excel is the capacity of the software to create formulas from the basic to the more complicated mathematical solutions. This feature provides some usable data in presentation and data analysis.

Cons

What I like the least about Microsoft Excel is the formatting of the cells that Text Control under the Alignment tab particularly the 'Wrap Text' feature. Sometimes it does not really function well as some of the cells does not really 'wrap' thus the text inside the table would not fully appear in the finish document.

The very best of Microsoft Excel

Reviewed on 22/01/2024

Pros

Microsft Excel has been a pivotal tool in my line of work for over ten years. I have been using the software for all my administration and design of systems using the calculation functions. I was able to design a shallow foundation base using the software and transferring the information to CAD software. The most fantastic part about Microsoft Excel software is its ability to process large data and auto-generate visualization graphs.

Cons

Microsft Excel has a lot of functions which can be very confusing if you do not know how to utilize the functions hence it is important to take training. Microsoft Excel can also take time to reopen if the data is too large.

Overall excel has been an important tool for me and everyone I know.

Pros

I love that excel is really the only platform that does what it does. Excel allows multiple tabs, and ensures you can really keep track of everything line by line. I love that you can search your data by rows, colors, etc. Excel has been a very important part of my journey in learning to organize and keep track of important information. I also love that you can have excel add numbers for you

Cons

While I love excel, I wish it was easier. It has taken me a long time to learn the features and functions and I use it everyday and still don't know them all. Whenever an off key is added, suddenly it freezes my screen and almost impossible to stop whatever is happening.

I've used Excel for some simple calculations, data cleaning and summary tables, as well as for pivot tables, complex analyses etc. And it works really great as long as your dataset isn't too large.

Pros

As for now, the best spreadsheet tool with lots of additional features, such as visualizations, macros, compability with other Office software, and many others (AI, Python, DAX).

Cons

It is easy to start with this tool but gets challenging really fast if you want to do something more complex - you need to learn lots of formulas and shortcuts and they are often not that intuitive.
