Excel is a powerful spreadsheet program from Microsoft that makes it easy to work with numbers and other values.

If you’re like millions of other users, you use Excel spreadsheets to plan your budgets, track sales or expenses, and organize all sorts of data. You may even use Excel to work with private or confidential information.

Excel can do more than just simple math. That's thanks to its bevy of built-in functions and min-formulas that simplify the creation of more complex formulas.
