Pros and Cons

Pros:
1. Data Organization
One of the biggest benefits of Excel is its primary function: The ability to
organize large amounts of data into orderly, logical spreadsheets and
charts. With the data organized, it's a lot easier to analyze and digest,
especially when used to create graphs and other visual data
representations
2. Formula and Calculation Features
Excel crunches numbers almost instantly, making batch calculations
much easier than working things out yourself with a calculator.
3. Third-Party Support
Excel is essentially considered the standard for spreadsheet software
and as such enjoys considerable support on a number of platforms,
including smartphones and tablets.
4. Office Integration
As part of Microsoft's Office suite, Excel works with almost every other
piece of software in Office. Excel spreadsheets can be easily added to
Word documents and PowerPoint presentations to create more visually
dynamic reports or presentations.

Pros and Cons

Cons:
1. Learning Curve
While just about anyone can pick up Excel and start filling in tables,
getting the full benefit of its features takes a lot of practice. Users
unfamiliar with Excel syntax may also find entering calculations and
calling up other functions a bit frustrating until they get a solid
understanding.
2. Calculation Errors
While Excel's automatic calculation functions make most large-scale
batch calculations easy, it isn't foolproof. Excel has no means of
checking for human error during data entry, which means that the wrong
information can skew all the results -- sometimes disastrously.
3. Time Consuming
Manually entering data into Excel can take a very long time -- especially
if you have a lot of data to enter.
4. Cost of Entry
While there are several low or no-cost alternatives, getting genuine
Microsoft Excel isn't free.
