Nearly everyone who knows how to use a computer knows how to use Excel to some extent. That is a feature of Excel that pretty much no other software solution can bring to the table.
- andyferris 2y agoI would contend that any user that can use Excel could pick up e.g. Google sheets instantly, especially in an audit capability where you want to scan the data (and view a couple formulae) rather than craft it from scratch.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoYeah. But then all your data lands at Google and now you’re at their mercy. I like my Excel offline thank you.
- prmoustache 2y agoI now I am probably part of a minority but I am totally lost with excel (and libreoffice calc). I used to export to csv and use perl whenever I had to manipulate data. These days I even import to an sqlite database and use either the sqlite cli (or ruby). Thanksfully I don't have to deal with excel files all too often.
