What is Excel Good For?

Excel, as you probably know, is the world’s most widely used spreadsheet
program, and is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Other spreadsheet programs
are available, but Excel is by far the most popular and has become the
world standard.
Much of the appeal of Excel is due to the fact that it’s so versatile. Excel’s
forte, of course, is performing numerical calculations, but Excel is also very
useful for non-numeric applications. Here are just a few of the uses for Excel:
1.Number crunching: Create budgets, analyze survey results, and
                                    perform just about any type of financial analysis you can think of.
2.Creating charts: Create a wide variety of highly customizable charts.
3.Organizing lists: Use the row-and-column layout to store lists
                              efficiently.
 4.Accessing other data: Import data from a wide variety of sources.
 5.Creating graphical dashboards: Summarize a large amount of
                                                       business information in a concise format
6.Creating graphics and diagrams: Use Shapes and the new SmartArt to create
                                                        professional-looking diagrams.
7.Automating complex tasks: Perform a tedious task with a single mouse click with
                                                 Excel’s macro capabilities.
