Why it is always better to use MS Excel?

People who are too much into data processing often struggle to pick the best option for their daily work. While some adopt Google spreadsheets, others still live and breathe in Microsoft Excel. So is there a way to choose between these two?

Where everyone is arguing about the pits and falls of both the spreadsheet applications, no one has ever got an even-handed solution for this. According to me, it all depends upon the job you need it to perform for you. Well, ultimately it’s the kind of operations that decides which software you should choose.

Here I am taking favor of MS Excel and explaining some of its advantages over Google spreadsheets. Have a look!

Excel is able to layout your data!

Microsoft Excel is designed to provide you an in depth analysis of your data segments. In Excel you can layout your text data into spreadsheet format. Moreover, Excel workbooks are used to gather information and data from various files and locations into a single place to simplify the whole data analysis process.

Easy to reformat and rearrange data in Excel!

In Excel you can easily format your data using different color shades and formats which is extremely useful when representing an array of numbers related to same topic.Conditional formatting is another advanced Excel trick, you can format your workbook based on the information it contains. For example you can color your cells in Red that have numbers below thousand and rest in other colors. This is the simplest

Great Row processing power!

MS Excel being a native app uses memory more efficiently and is much more responsive regardless how much data you are processing in one go. Let’s say there are 10,000+ rows to manage, excel is there an obvious choice but if you have 30,000+ rows of data to process, I’d urge you to use a real data analysis tool like SQL, Mat-Lab etc.

Chart Formatting!

MS Excel has boundless options for formatting charts that Sheets simply can not perform. Features like changing axis name, data value formatting and others are simply not there and they are important when you are presenting your data to some audience.

So these are some things that bias a user to stick with the Excel and these are only the basic Excel capabilities, advanced Excel has much more flexibility in it.
