What Is MS Excel?

Excel is a part of the MS office suite used to create worksheets and record data in the form of tables. Businesses use Excel to organize their data into something useful. They use it to perform business analysis, reporting, etc to make informed decisions. It can display data in histograms, charts, graphs, and 3D visuals. This helps users understand data, calculate statistics and generate pivot tables for insights. However, it starts showing limitations when the data volume increases. It struggles with performance and often slows down or crashes.
