ABSTRACT

Without question, Microsoft Excel has attributes that make it a tremendously useful program. It is easy to use for simple data analysis and incorporates the features most likely to be used by individuals in a variety of disciplines such as business, science, and engineering. It has a macro language that is easy to learn and comprehensive in terms of its ability to automate the functionality of the mother program (Excel). The features that make the program broadly applicable and easy to use are also self-limiting when a user wishes to perform a very specific task.
