Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel
Excel is used as the common tool across groups for communicating any data sets that may need to be adjusted or modeled. It allows for easy collaboration and error checking, as well as revision tracking. It's easy to add conditional formatting or clean up tables for presentations of various data or graphs. Excel runs a group of basic stats on just about any group of data that are insightful when using larger data sets.
- Modeling data
- Creating basic drafts
- Creating tables
- Easy integration with third party apps
- Limitation on large data sets
- Help topics don't always address issues; often have to search the web
- Excel is critical to our business. Productivity is easily enhanced 10% across the org.
- There is not really a good alternative spreadsheet for large sets of data
- Excel integrates more easily than many other apps, esp. with other MS products
Excel is easier to use with one-off data sets, if data needs to be reported on a continual basis, PowerBI is great to use for repetitive reporting. PowerBI is great for custom visualizations, but it's easier in Excel to create quick graphs and pivot tables and pivot charts on data when working with teams to find initial insights.
