"Easy to Use and Integrates Seamlessly with Microsoft Tools"
What do you dislike about Microsoft Excel?
There is a bit of a learning curve with all of the formulas. It doesn't handle large data sets as well as other tools like Power BI.

The automations and macro tools are incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes, when I load large amounts of data, it glitches and shuts down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I’ve been using Excel for a long time now, and it’s honestly one of those tools I just automatically open when I need to sort something out. Sometimes it’s just a basic list, sometimes it’s proper reports with formulas. Once I understood pivot tables and a few core formulas, it made a big difference in how fast I could finish tasks. It’s flexible, which I really like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s not beginner-friendly at all. When I first started, I had no idea what half the buttons did. Also, if you overuse formulas or link too many sheets, things can slow down. I’ve definitely messed up sheets before and had to redo parts of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels like the ocean of knowledge, whenever you think you mastered a lot you find yourself in the middle of open waters.
And it has everything in it you need to use espically if you work in finance and accounting it will be your companinon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes i have to do some tasks manually and they usually are very exhausting, but the Ai bot claude is making it a lot easier now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft Excel is an excellent application where calculations and data analysis, data transformations and dashboard visualizations are done on single platform. It has robust bank for formulas and tools that are easy to use. My favorite formulas are xlookup, sumifs, countifs, Filter function, index, match, Byrow, Bycol, Tocol, torow, lambda functions and many more. It has powerful languages and scripts like VBA, Python, Power Query M Code, DAX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Excel is slow when data is large like 3 to 4 lac rows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like the most about Microsoft Excel is how versatile it is. You can use it for basic tasks like maintaining lists, creating schedules, or simple budgets, and also for advanced work such as formulas, pivot tables, and automation using macros. Excel makes it easy to structure data, filter values, and visualize information through charts and graphs. It is also widely used across teams, so sharing and collaborating becomes smooth without needing much explanation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest challenge I find is when large files become slow or take time to load, especially when they include a lot of formulas, images, or multiple sheets. Also, some advanced functions require prior knowledge, and beginners may take time to learn them. Real-time multi-user collaboration is possible, but not always seamless like cloud-native tools. Apart from that, I don’t see major issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With power queries, dynamic array formula, pivot tables, flash fills, copilot and so on, Microsoft Excel remains one of the best tools by Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
