    Excel is the second best tool for any application. If I need analysis I usually use python with pandas and matplotlib + seaborn. Does everything I need faster than Excel. I do use Excel because I’m forced to but not for data analysis - I have seen it all from forms to schematics to differential equations - everything done with excel. It can work… but I still hate it :)

      Excel (all spreadsheet applications) are an integrated environment for non linear functional programming with flexible data structures, where you can see all memory and data at the same time. It’s a marvel.
