Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet management software developed by Microsoft. It is most commonly used to create spreadsheets and perform a huge variety of calculations and equations with its native formulas, but also supplies users with more and more things as the releases get better. Graphics capabilities, pivot tables and the Visual Basic for Applications macro programming language are all featured within Excel by default – making it become the most recognised and used spreadsheet software on the market. It is now industry standard to utilise Excel when working in professional environments, meaning that even if you own a small business yourself, Excel is the perfect application to take care of business documentation and aid you when needed with its expert features being capable of speeding up multiple processes for its users.
