My job is to handle data from the Site, validate and integrate the data correctly, and then update the same into a database like Oracle or SAP for further activities.
With the built-in functions and access to VBA, the task is automated, which eases our daily activity, and anyone can do analysis error-free.
  • Analysis
  • Automation
  • Data Handling
  • Pivot Charts Should be improved
  • Conditional formatting should be optimized (should not use large space)
  • VBA should have a proper code editor inbuilt
  • Should have options to work for large datasets
Microsoft Excel is well suited for analyzing smaller data sets, once we move on to large data sets it is less appropriate to use. It should not be used as a means to store or analyze large data sets. It is good if there are requirements of repetitive data analysis where we can use macros or VBA to automate the task.
  • Microsoft Excel should have around 50% of ROI
Microsoft Excel stacks up against them with better User Interface, this plays a more crucial role than any of the functionality that other software offers.
Its ability to have a lot of functions for handling day to day task and analyzing data and automating the task.
Microsoft Access can handle large amount of data sets, but it doesn't have that ease of interface.

1. Maintenance- Which involves submitting of maintenance report, collections of Data, inventory & material management.
2.Operation- Involves day to day Operation activities and reporting.
3. Accounting
4. Human Resource

Mostly the people in the IT Team will help issues related to Microsoft Excel.
Skills required by them would be good communication to understand what the problem of the end user.
Also, an active listener would be a good add on.
Should have the admin access along with that they will require a basic IT and networking skills.
  • Data Collection
  • Data Integrity Validation
  • Reporting
  • To integrate it with Oracle JDE or SAP for Bulk data Upload
  • For Automating Day to day task
Microsoft excel is a base for every organization.
Each organization works on data and that would be handled by Microsoft excel.
Be it analyzing, reporting, storing and collection of data, due to the easy interface and much more functionalities it stands up as a single software that each company can rely on.

We will evaluate based on the size of the team and functionality that the software will bring to the employee that can be helpful for the organization.
As it comes with Office 365 package, so it becomes easier to rely on this software as compared to others which are providing same functionality
Microsoft excel stands out in its User Interface as compared to any other software which offers same functionality.
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.
  • Formulas
  • Storing data in Table
  • Conditional Formatting
  • Dynamic arrays
  • Macros
  • Advanced functions

Excel is an integral part of our business. Most file sharing, and data reports are all communicated through Excel. It is something I use every day. Other employees use the tool as well for various functions. We work with significant amounts of data and Excel makes our work so much simpler and streamlined.
  • De-Dupe
  • Filters
  • Text to columns
  • More tutorials on various functions
  • Simpler work around to "text stored as number"
  • Like to see some auto-reports available in future
It is ideal for data cleansing, file sharing, and reporting of data. The interface has gotten so much more advanced over the years it is a great tool we use daily. It is less appropriate for formal reports, or presentations. For imagery, graphics and key takeaway points you are better served using PowerPoint.
  • It cuts our Data Administration time by over 50%.
  • We use Excel exports from our CRM to generate quick reporting and results to review.
  • It is simple to show new employees how to use.
We occasionally use access, but it really is not all the functional for our business process. Excel seems to be much more effective and simpler to use for our day to day operations. Excel allows us quick data sharing and reporting which is a key part of what we need for our clients.
