Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

Excel is used in a number of ways. It takes data exported from other software packages and allows us to run more sophisticated analyses than we can with other software. We can also create various graphs and charts to better illlustrate the information we want to present.

Pros

  • standard spreadsheet work
  • charting and graphing
  • data analytics
  • data importation and manipulation

Cons

  • Excel is so comprehensive that it almost impossible to learn all of its capabilities
  • Help functionality is good but could be improved. the search functionality is limited.
  • Our ability to monitor expenses and see variances in real time has been invaluable
  • We are wasting time manually inputing data into various spreadsheets.
Quickbooks reporting capabilites are very limited. We use Excel to generate more detailed analyses from exported data from QBO.

Excel is excellent for creating spreadsheets and manipulating data. The downside is as the spreadsheets grow more complex the opportunity for formula errors and misinterpretation grows. Extreme care must be taken with very complex models to ensure data integrity.
