1) it’s easy to create tables, format them to create databases.

2) you can connect multiple tables with power Pivots. And use power queries to quickly do mass data manipulation.

3) pivot tables quickly help you analyze data.

4) it has a layers system just like PowerPoint so you can create pretty complex dashboards.

And that’s just the intermediate level stuff.

Comes with a lot of preset math tools to do forecasting and interesting calculations.

There is a video on youtube where someone created a cpu on excel that actually can compute stuff.

Excel failed.

But I don’t think it was designed for something like this.

Agreed, but Excel is amazing, I think my only ding against it is that Microsoft is evil but what a tool
