Microsoft Excel Reviews & Product Details

I use Excel for everything. It’s open on my desktop all the time and I rely on it throughout the day for everything from taking notes to running calculations, data analysis, and data simulations. I use Excel extensively, and the performance is always great, even when I’m working with large datasets. The UI is well laid out, and there are endless integration options. The price is reasonable, and the support system is robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ribbon has changed over the years and isn’t as customizable as it once was; it would be nice to have those customization options back. Also, I haven’t really gotten into the AI side of it yet, so I can’t speak to that very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything like rules, making report, importing data, making tracker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To automate something we need to know VBA tool and as a BPS employee its not necessary for me to know vba tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

I like its flexibility in handling data, performing calculations, creating graphs, and analysing results. It makes data management and reporting much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced functions are difficult to use, and handling large datasets can make Excel slow. Formula errors and formatting issues can also be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Excel is my go to product for almost everything I do, I find it so useful as an FD, for cash flows, modelling and reporting board information. we integrate it with Power BI and our ERP software. always found the pricing to be competitive. Its is constantly updated, and we now use co-pilot to integrate too. Support has always been extremely helpful when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really find any downsides of using Excel 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.

I like Microsoft excel because of its exciting features, and how can I say that they are so good because its been nearly 6 years I am using it, I am currently in college third year and I am using it since my class 11th, I like the features like organizing my class data since I am a coordinator, sometimes I make mistake for names then if i want to replace that particular word I can simply search that word and replace it everywhere and also it have features like formula where I can simply apply filter out peoples and it is so much beginner friendly anyone can easily use it. Microsoft excel is very easy to implement in my everyday class tasks it helps me organizing data and analyze them, and it is so much easy to integrate with other apps like Word, PowerPoint or outlook and talking about its customer support it is top notch I don't have that much complaint but twice or thrice i have received customer support within 1-2 days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don't like is that sometimes i have to work with very large dataset for my college and it starts lagging and if i have to analyze large dataset its response becomes slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
