Excel is NOT going away!

Excel is NOT going away!

There are many innovative data visualization & storytelling tools available these days; however, it seems like Excel is simply NOT going away!

Excel is used by an estimated 750 million people?worldwide. It's the tool that most people are familiar with when they begin analyzing / visualizing data. This is one of the reasons why I really wanted to make sure that Excel was included in the DATAcated Academy Data to Dashboard series.

Check out the brand new Data to Dashboard with Excel course from the DATAcated Academy - instructed by Ann K. Emery from Depict Data Studio. Use code EXCEL30 for 30% OFF (offer expires tomorrow).

Excel is especially good if you have smaller (non scientific) datasets (like less than 200 people) - I, at least, can better see and manipulate the data and learn from it's patterns.

Last year, I would have argued in favor of Python. Now based on my most current experience, I say that Excel and VBA are going to continue to dominate several industries for several more years.

It ranks in the top software packages, and the jewel in MS Office. When I moved to Keynote and Pages, I kept Excel. Exceptional functionality and a joy to use.
