The advantages of using Excel over a 3rd party service: - since all the relevant data's in our db, i don't need to import data into a 3rd party service if i haven't been tracking it. i just modify my sql query. no need to futz with data importing, syncing, yada yada. - using Excel is a matter of writing sql, running the query, then importing a CSV. simple. - data manipulation is easier - Excel is designed for it. I wrote the SQL and ran the analysis in my post over a couple of hours one afternoon. I can't imagine it being easier using any 3rd party service.
