Excel is by far Microsoft's finest product

Minitab works fine with WINE

Microsoft must suck then

Hype is Applel's finest product.

What does Apple have to do with this?

R

Seriously, good luck with your it certificate

Copying shit without understanding is a big problem in social science

Say, a lot of them just copy some "standard approach" to statistics and do that without understanding shit.

You know you can code basic in Excel, right?

>not using Excel as a database.

Do you even work in an an office?

kek....so true.

What are you even supposed to use Excel for?

It seems to do many things but apparently it sucks at all of them.

>not using Access as a database.

Do you work in an office?

You can quickly calculate things for a lot of items at once. It's like the normies equivalent of programming: easier to use, but less functional.

Will teaching normies how to code starting in elementary school fix this?

That's not how you spell Access

Bob is

Look guys, a freetard.

Are you fucking dense?

Excel is to stats as the standard single purpose screwdriver is to mechanics

It's useful for quick dirty work

>Do you even work in an an office?
in a small garbage office with no budget, you mean?

It's a poor man's database

But SQLite is superior

it's made so an average office worker can import and digest data with a relatively simple WYSIWYG interface

Get out

VBA != BASIC

Potato, potato

> Not using MongoDB or Cassandra as a database

I use it for complex calculations that require multiple steps, it's easier to write and debug than writing a whole new program, and easier than doing it on paper with a pocket calculator.

Coding isn't necessarily better than doing calculations in excel - requires a lot more work/boilerplate, doesn't handle types automatically the way excel does, etc.

It's not BASIC unless it uses mandatory line numbers and two-letter variable names.

I'm not disagreeing. Microsoft has a larger platform. People are dependent on excel now.

>Changes in Excel 2010 have improved its use for statistics considerably. For earlier versions of Excel, however, the answer is generally ‘No’. The following refers to versions prior to 2010 (2011 on the Mac).
nice deprecated article faget

Boss wont let me use databases so i learned to do all corporate reporting in excel, i've become very good at it.

>using cassandra for storing 30 rows

>using MongoDB for persistent data
i hope you at least do backups
