What are the advantages of using Microsoft Excel?

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that allows users to quickly log, sort and analyze data. To use Excel to its full functionality, users must be familiar with the basic formulas and commands Excel uses to find trends or make projections.

With Excel, users can manage payroll records, employee schedules or personal bookkeeping and paperwork virtually, so data can be easily changed, updated or moved around without having to deal with paper and pen copies. Excel files can also be sent as attachments or shared within a group of users via various cloud storage systems so everyone has access to the same files.
