I use Excel, but somewhat begrudgingly. I often use it as an intermediary, as somewhere to deposit the raw data between extraction and processing/presentation. It takes hours and hours to make attractive and presentation-worthy graphs and charts in Excel when it takes minutes to make the same graphs and charts in a program like Tableau. I will admit that I find Excel easier than R (so far, I'm still an R newbie). Overall...I'm kind of annoyed that Excel is so prominent, given its inherent limitations.
Hi,
I use excel everyday. The best result is if you combine Access and the others Microsoft Office tools. Then there are also a a lot of useful add-in. So, first I develop the program with Access and Excel, then if the project works fine, I receive some feedbacks, some requests and so on, I could check if an online tool could be better or not.
Then, in my opinion, Access and Excel are quite flexible.
