Advantages Of Using Excel

Answer 3

The only advatage of using Excell is, Schools use them ( supplied by Microsoft ) and if you have to download a test or worksheet it is usually in Excell, Business use them also as part of the MS Office group, but personally I prefer MS Works, it has a much more stable work space and is easier to enter calculations. But i suppose the best on the market is OpenOffice.Org It's FREE and not owned by Microsoft.

Answer 4

If it is a one-off Invoice then the program to use is probably Word, using a table format. If, however it is for regular invoicing and customers buy on a regular basis and you have set up Excel as a sales ledger, then yes you can easily do it in Excel but in reality Access is the program to use where you set up a report and perhaps on a monthly basis, run your query to extract all purchases for that month and the report, based on that query will automatically produce a report. Excel is primarily for working with figures and again for a simple invoice you could link those figures to a Word Document. You could also import or merely link your spreadsheet to Access. As I said, it depends on the complexity - if this is IT courseware project and you have to choose merely between Excel and Access, then it would be interesting to know exactly what the project is to be able to answer more appropriately.

Answer 5

I will say that Microsoft has dominated the market, There is a program called openoffice that you can do 95% of everything you can do in a Microsoft product!

www.openoffice.org ( it is free)



I have a love-hate relationship with Microsoft. I am almost totally off Microsoft, but there are some things Lunix just can't do!

Answer 7

Ten years ago Lotus was the premier spreadsheet software. Today hardly anyone seems to be using it. Who would have thought Excel would capture the market as it did!

Answer 8

There are none ;) Openoffice.org is a much better solution, and it doesn't cost a dime...but is still compatible with MS products should you need to edit the spreadsheet down the line!
