Microsoft Excel

Financial reports with functions

Visual charts

Scenario based forecasting

Financial models

Risk of losing original data when used same files by a group. Not suitable when changes are made in files as it becomes difficult to keep track of different versions of truth.

Even though Microsoft Excel produces great charts that are visually appealing, but limited features that can involve an user as he or she makes changes playing with numbers. I mean there are other tools like Tableau and Cognos Analytics needed to address such deficits of Microsoft Excel.

Formulas are easy to learn / apply

Data is visualized easily

Data is sorted / organised easily

There are a lot of updates in most recent versions which take time to apply

Formulas change throughout different versions which can be challenging to apply

The layout of the ribbons changes quite a lot too which is challenging

Financial Modeling for forecasting the balance sheets and income sheets of companies.

Valuations to value a company after 3-5 years.

Data Analytic and doing comparative analysis .

Data Visualization.

Excel offers collaboration features that allow multiple users to work on the same spreadsheet, but managing changes made by different users can be challenging. Excel could improve its features by offering more granular control, better tracking of changes, and more robust conflict resolution tools.

Itcan be a barrier to productivity when importing and exporting data from other applications or file formats. To improve its features, it should offer better support for standard file formats and more robust error handling and reporting tools.

Excel can be challenging for finance students and working professionals, but it can be improved by offering more robust tutorials, better documentation, and more user communities and support forums.

Flexibility in usage

Data analysis capabilities

Storage of information and data

Presentation of information and data

Universal application

Depth in capabilities

Larger learning curve required to maximise function

Can impact hardware performance depending on quantum of data

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

Capable ro analyse large data.

Interactive dashboard is best way ro summarise data.

Easy to creat chart and graphs.

Plenty of functions and farmulas available to filter, Sort and calculate data.

Looking forward to see as database.

Pictures need to be perfectly resize with cell.

Collaborative working.

Excel is the leading tool for data entry system.

It is used to prepare the summaries of huge data.

It makes easier to perform analysis by using its built in options such as pivot table.

First of all, there should be direction or navigation available to use the tools for the basic users.

Some tutorials or user guides maybe create values that can provide ease to the users.

There maybe some more criteria included to recover the lost files of excel.

It is very good at embedded formulas and tying cells to one another

It allows me to compare deals terms on a side-by-side basis and talk my clients through it easily.

It is very helpful as well in terms of allowing me to filter/sort results in many different ways depending on what specific information I am most interested in prioritizing.

Ease of access to more/better on how to develop some formulas would be appreciated. I often feel as if I am left to my own devices to figured it out myself.

The visual interface is not particularly exciting or engaging at all.

It was be great to have more options to save the file in additional formats, where applicable.

presentation of record-entries are also enhanced and improved readability with the help of different styling , fonts , colour-coding, etc

there are many shortcuts for everything in Microsoft Excel but user doesn't know all of them and if he still does know them then it's hard to remember all of them because they are quite in huge number, so something should be done for this

there should be a tutorial or guide for new users of every feature Microsoft Excel possesses

autosave feature should never be off, if a user want it to be off then he should be manually able to do it

Microsoft Excel application is very big in size and takes a huge amount of disc space and RAM in computers, hence a Microsoft Excel Lite version should be introduced so that the people who don't have that much space in their system can use the lite version of it

Microsoft Excel mobile application working is not smooth yet , it is very hectic for those people who don't have PC or don't have accessibility to computers at that time and want to get their work done.

It's compatible. I use Excel for Mac without issues sending and receiving workbooks to and from others.

It's intuitive. The interface is as clean as it can be for all its functionality.

Pivot tables: When needed, they are fast and easy to create.

Formula help is a little hard to understand.

Help search could be improved. It sometimes tries to search all over the internet instead of just in Excel.

It can be confusing to have two ways to find data: Via the menu (Edit - Find) and the upper right magnifying glass symbol. They have different functionality, too.
