There is iron in these words. I love using SQL and hate using Excel, but when it comes to common statistical calculations such as standard deviation or a Pearson function, or if you want to generate a graph and can't [or don't want to] use a tool such as Tableau or Crystal, Excel really is easier [or, at minimum, quicker] for generating output sometimes.
