What are the advantages of a spreadsheet ?
Three quick points I will highlight:
1.Data Storage and Aggregation - Spreadsheets provide a great platform for storing structured (tabular) data where one worksheet can contain different data sets or a workbook can have multiple worksheets with different data sets to serve a variety of different purposes.
2.Data Analysis and Interpretation - Excel comes with powerful functionality which enables easy statistical analysis, filtering and screening of diverse data sets within the one spreadsheet
3. Presentation / Visualization - Once the data has been aggregated and analysed, excel then can transform the structured result into one or more presentable formats (chart, graph, table)
-->The above items are simple yet very underappreciated and is why spreadsheets are so popular and helpful.
