Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

I use Microsoft Excel to generate specific state level energy code calculations for architectural purposes.
  • Excel is excellent for setting up calculations.
  • Excel does an excellent job of supporting Washington state energy code forms.
  • The export function could be improved. It is easy to use but not intuitive at first!
  • Excel allows me to run state mandated software so it is integral to my business.
  • Excel allows me to run PassivHaus energy calculations for modeling and performance purposes.
Excel can run many more applications. No comparison in this regard.
