Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

We use Excel for our price books, keeping track of issues with inventory, quick look bank register, tracking information, and list for mail merges, to name just some of the ways we use Microsoft Excel.

Pros

  • Sorting
  • Table Creation
  • Summing and Formulus
  • Linking Excel spreadsheets to other Excel Spreadsheets

Cons

  • Header and Footer - adding graphics and appearing on different locations on odd and even pages
  • Changing page number in the Footer
  • Sorting data
  • Finding the correct formula to use
  • We have purchased the product to have in house. The upfront cost is higher than Office 365, but in the long run it is cheaper to own.
  • It has helped us to resolve inventory issues, and to see if an inventory item was missed it billing.
  • It has helped to provide a quick glance at different things we are tracking or keeping track of.
Microsoft Excel, is a powerful tool to help you do many things well. It is quick and easy to create and modify spreadsheets once you have done it a few times. It is a very useful software for many different tasks to streamline them and make them more user-friendly. It is great to be able to enter in numbers and have Excel do the calculations for you. Less likely to have errors. The ability to sort in so many different ways to look at the data is very helpful. Excel is a very good and powerful software. Some of the drawbacks are when Microsoft moves functions around on the menu bars, and their help function is not always helpful.
I find Microsoft Excel easier to use than either LibreOffice Calc or Google Docs because I use Excel regularly and know where to find the functions that I need. I find that other companies have an easier time opening Excel files than others.
