    Excel is a database, application/program with Microsoft forms, notepad, calculation tool, calculation report, sometimes used to make rudimentary sketches when PowerPoint is not convenient.

    Imagine if Microsoft gave a shit and actually improved it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Excel is one of the few apps MS actually cares about and improves. It’s the reason you can’t replace it with Google Sheets. I’ve tried. You can’t even print mailing labels from Google sheets/docs without renting a plugin that charges a monthly fee. Printing mailing labels has been in Excel for 30 years.

      Every behind the scenes (functions/features) change to Excel has been brilliant. Unfortunately every UI change to Excel has been awful.
