Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

I do survey analysis and some data cleanup using Microsoft Excel. I also use it to analyze row level data for survey responses we receive. I use it mainly for initial analyses using pivot tables, but will also use power queries to transform data as needed. I also use it to create some basic charts to use in PowerPoints and other presentation tools.

Pros

  • Column filtering
  • pivot tables

Cons

  • putting more than one pivot table on a single sheet
  • Let me filter by or jump to duplicate values instead of only highlighting them
  • Make it easy to reverse the order of a chart instead of me having to manually change the order myself
  • Allows for quicker cleanup and initial results
  • Charts can be difficult to re-sort and resize
  • Helps create reports
  • Could use better collaboration and tracking of edits for others to view
Similar to my previous responses and the previous question
It isn't as collaborative or detail oriented as other platforms, or at least it doesn't market itself to be used that way. But it is still useful in its own ways

Do you think Microsoft Excel delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft Excel's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Excel live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Excel go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft Excel again?

Yes

It's good for the basics - initial cleaning, simple tables, concatenating, randomizing, and quick fixes. It can be difficult to de-dupe, since it only highlights and does not allow you to easily view/filter by duplicated values.
