Excel is by far Microsoft's finest product

Minitab works fine with WINE

>>56288505
Microsoft must suck then

Hype is Applel's finest product.

What does Apple have to do with this?

Seriously, good luck with your it certificate

>>56289437
Copying shit without understanding is a big problem in social science

Say, a lot of them just copy some "standard approach" to statistics and do that without understanding shit.

>>56289437
You know you can code basic in Excel, right?

>not using Excel as a database.

Do you even work in an an office?

>>56289604

kek....so true.

What are you even supposed to use Excel for?

It seems to do many things but apparently it sucks at all of them.

>not using Access as a database.

Do you work in an office?

>>56290284
You can quickly calculate things for a lot of items at once. It's like the normies equivalent of programming: easier to use, but less functional.

>>56290562
Will teaching normies how to code starting in elementary school fix this?

>>56288505
That's not how you spell Access

>>56288505
Bob is

>>56288478

Look guys, a freetard.

>>56290834
Are you fucking dense?

>>56288478
Excel is to stats as the standard single purpose screwdriver is to mechanics

It's useful for quick dirty work

>>56289604
>Do you even work in an an office?
in a small garbage office with no budget, you mean?

>>56290284
It's a poor man's database

>>56292875
But SQLite is superior

>>56290284
it's made so an average office worker can import and digest data with a relatively simple WYSIWYG interface

>>56289604
Get out

>>56289595
VBA != BASIC

Potato, potato

> Not using MongoDB or Cassandra as a database

>>56290284
I use it for complex calculations that require multiple steps, it's easier to write and debug than writing a whole new program, and easier than doing it on paper with a pocket calculator.

>>56290712
Coding isn't necessarily better than doing calculations in excel - requires a lot more work/boilerplate, doesn't handle types automatically the way excel does, etc.

>>56293029
It's not BASIC unless it uses mandatory line numbers and two-letter variable names.

>>56292947
I'm not disagreeing. Microsoft has a larger platform. People are dependent on excel now.

>Changes in Excel 2010 have improved its use for statistics considerably. For earlier versions of Excel, however, the answer is generally ‘No’. The following refers to versions prior to 2010 (2011 on the Mac).

i hope you at least do backups
