I use Excel for a lot of boring but necessary things :) Keeping lists, tracking expenses, comparing numbers, planning budgets, sometimes just putting information into a table because it's easier to understand that way.

What I like is that it can be as simple or as complicated as you need. Most of the time I only use basic formulas, filters and sorting, and that's already enough for probably 90% of what I need. But when I do need something more specific, there's usually a way to do it without moving everything to another tool.

I've used Excel for years, so at this point it's just one of those programs I open without even thinking about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve gets steep pretty quickly once you go beyond the basics. I can do everything I normally need with formulas, filters and tables, but every now and then I need something more advanced and suddenly I'm searching online for how to do it :)

There are so many features that I'm sure I use only a small part of what Excel can actually do. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes even a relatively simple task can feel more complicated than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
