Microsoft Excel is an industry-standard spreadsheet program that allows users to format, organize, and calculate data. Excel has been on the market for four decades, and while it’s been widely imitated, no other software has come close to challenging its market share.

Microsoft Excel is a Microsoft Office product used to track, manage, analyze, and visualize data. This spreadsheet program is organized by columns and rows. Individuals can enter data into the “cells” created by the intersection of these columns and rows.
