Likelihood to Recommend For tasks like financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and data visualization, I frequently use Microsoft Excel. I can develop financial models, use pivot tables to examine enormous datasets, and produce eye-catching visualizations thanks to its comprehensive features. I have, however, also come across circumstances in which Excel isn't the best tool.Excel falls short of alternatives like
Google Sheets when I need to collaborate with my team in real-time. I favor employing robust database management systems or data analysis tools like SQL, Python, or R for managing very big data sets or sophisticated calculations. I use specialized tools like SPSS, SAS, or programming languages for better outcomes when complex statistical analysis or machine learning are necessary. And finally, for formatting elaborate reports, In conclusion, even though I consider Excel to be a great tool for many finance jobs, there are some limits in collaborating, processing big amounts of data, performing complex analysis, and creating documents that I take into account when choosing the best tool for the job.

Merging cells in a table; I have to remove the table first and then re-add the table to merge cells together. Offering more preset colour categories for formatting graphs. Built-in functions to run ANOVAs, Multiple Linear Regression, Factor Analysis, etc. Read full review I want to be able to sort a column from a-z and have it shift everything and not just the current column (maybe I haven't' figured this out yet).

It would be nice to see more Excel functions used, though, beside basic tables and calculations.

It can be used by a beginner as well as the expert in the same field. It is having many features as we dig deep in it like advance functions, dynamic arrays, pivot, VBA and Macros.

Best of all, the main tools of the programs provided by the WPS Office are easily accessible.

Tableau and
Alteryx in addition to Excel. We use Excel since we have a data dump that could be utilized in feeding for these two solutions. We select Excel for some manual work then plug the data into the other two tools for further analysis around text analytics like word clouds in
Tableau , or text mining in
Alteryx . Excel is an input data source that we use in conjunction with these two.

Read full review Return on Investment Excel has positively impacted the business as it has increased our efficiency.
