Re: Do you use Excel for business computing and analysis? 

 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.

Re: Do you use Excel for business computing and analysis? 

 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.

I use Excel as scratch paper or to export my findings from SSMS.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...

What is it? This hasn't been a call center job or a sales job as we all think. It is a mammoth profile, and firms are grappling to ge...
