Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

My company uses Microsoft Excel for myriad reports, and it is the default format for any accounting or financial spreadsheet. Microsoft Excel allows us to arrange and prioritize data, and sort over various or multiple branches, regions or units. For Credit, we use it extensively, creating ad hoc reports on demand, focusing on specific aging buckets and types of invoices. Very useful and flexible.

Pros

  • Columnar and cell-specific formatting
  • Ease of analyzing trends and information
  • Easy creation of graphic representation of results, in varying styles
  • Downloading into Microsoft Excel is very easy, and updating the data also

Cons

  • User templates could be easier to create
  • Further automation of pivot tables
  • Makes it easy to track and report changes and trends
  • Sharing of information is easier and more instinctive
  • Easy to compare objectives with targets
Microsoft Excel is extremely intuitive and, when I have questions, help is generally easy to find and understand. The format is very clear and easily exportable to other formats, particularly as a PDF, which preserves the data against any unauthorized or unintentional changes. It's my go-to whenever I have data I need to log and/or analyze, and I use it for home finances as well as business functions.

I've used Microsoft Excel extensively for creation of graphs showing, for instance, the increase of collections over time, growth in sales, comparison between various dimensions of data, and so forth. Microsoft Excel handles conversion of date into easily readable and comprehensible visual data. The variety and options for displaying graphical information is excellent, and can be easily made more granular at need. This is one of the most useful, and usable, aspects of the software.
