Microsoft Excel Reviews & Product Details

I love that Excel acts as the ultimate universal translator between my messy experimental brainstorming and the rigid requirements of the Tecan Fluent. When I’m calculating media volumes or cell seeding densities, I can visually map out my plate layouts, which gives me a level of intuitive control that a raw text editor just can’t provide. The magic happens during that final conversion to CSV; I can strip away all the complex formulas and color-coding to hand the Fluent a perfectly clean, flat file for its liquid handling instructions. It serves as my primary safety checkpoint, allowing me to catch a decimal point error in a volume column before a single pipette tip ever touches a reagent. Ultimately, it’s the reliability of that workflow—turning biological logic into digital commands—that makes it my most essential tool in the lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I often struggle with Excel’s habit of "helpfully" auto-formatting my reagent IDs into dates, which immediately crashes my Tecan Fluent import. I also find the lack of version control risky, as a single accidental keystroke in a volume cell can go unnoticed until a pipette tip crashes or a well overflows. When I save my layouts as CSVs, I lose all my safety formulas and color-coding, meaning any last-minute tweaks require a complete and tedious rebuild of the file. Ultimately, it’s a constant battle to ensure that what I see on my screen perfectly matches the rigid data structure the liquid handler demands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used and been a trainer of Excel for over 25 years and it has always been a favourite tool. However, since I moved away from training Excel and became a regular user instead I now couldn't do my job without Power Query with a sprinkling of VBA to create automated solutions for my customers and colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love Excel and have an ongoing love affair but if pushed I would say that some of the old fashioned assumptions like Date formats when it's a number and vice versa have never really been addressed and still rear their head when working with cleaned data from Power Query. Dropdown lists for data input should be easier to create and more intuitive too but maybe that's part of the challenge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything—the way I can store and edit information, plus the charts, formulas, and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to learn, just like any other platform, and you may need a bit of assistance at first. If Excel with an AI feature is available, or something similar to use, it would be easier overall and would help when supporting others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Excel solves major issue of tracking information by providing a platform where I can generate trackers according to my work and requirements to track my team, my tasks, work, finance, etc.

By using automations and formulas we can easily sort and manage milions of data in very less time which eliminates manual efforts completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial learning curve might be long for beginners to use the formulas, automations and some advanced features, it might feel overwhelming but with regular use and practice this can be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Microsoft Excel is its ability to organize, analyze, and manage large amounts of data efficiently. The wide range of formulas, functions, pivot tables, and charting tools makes it easy to perform calculations, track information, and generate meaningful insights. I also appreciate its flexibility, as it can be used for everything from simple record-keeping to complex data analysis, helping save time and improve accuracy in daily work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Excel is that working with very large datasets can sometimes slow down performance, especially when complex formulas and multiple worksheets are involved. Some advanced features, such as macros and Power Query, can also be difficult for new users to learn. Additionally, accidental changes to formulas or data can be hard to trace in large spreadsheets, which may require extra time for verification and troubleshooting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft Excel is how well it helps me handles large volume of data to keep my daily work organized. I use it to create production reports, requirements, and handle our operational planning. Features like formulas, sorting, filters, conditional formatting, and pivot table save a lot of time.

I also like how flexible the software is. I can use it for simple data entry, and then use formatting tools, autofill, and charts to turn those raw numbers into clean, accurate reports to share with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not faced anything that I dislike about Excel so far. It handles everything I need for my daily work without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides me with built-in formulas and functions that I personally use to make my internship logs. Basically, I am a student at GLS University, and my friend makes a daily sales report. He was a sales person and he uses MS Excel very well, so I learned many things from him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Excel is very powerful, there are a few areas where it could be improved. These issues mainly affect efficiency when working on larger or more complex tasks. For example, Excel can slow down or lag when handling very large datasets or when a workbook relies on complex formulas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Copilot integration isn’t the best, and the other integration features also need improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
