It is an extremely diverse tool. > > **Cons**: It can be cost prohibitive if you don't have a 365 subscription through work or school.

Am using it nearly every day. ----- ### "An Indispensable Tool for Business Analysis and Reporting" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *16 July 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Excel is an incredibly powerful and reliable tool for data analysis, reporting, budgeting, and business operations. Its advanced formulas, PivotTables, charts, Power Query, and automation capabilities make it an essential application for managing large datasets, tracking KPIs, reconciling ERP and EDI data, and generating operational reports. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features require time to learn, and very large workbooks with extensive formulas or macros can occasionally experience performance slowdowns. Collaboration and version management can also become challenging if shared workbook practices are not followed. > > Microsoft Excel has become one of the most valuable applications we use daily across IT and business operations. Whether analyzing ERP data, reconciling EDI transactions, tracking inventory, building dashboards, or creating executive reports, it consistently delivers the flexibility, reliability, and functionality needed to support informed decision-making. ----- ### "My experience with Microsoft Forms" — 5.0/5 > **Eli** | *20 August 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Forms is a good form application because it help me to create quickly forms for my clients.
