Microsoft Excel sets the standard in spreadsheet software. There are even mobile versions so you can access your spreadsheets on the move. Sharing data is easy as well, since you can use the Microsoft Excel web app, which allows any invited people to view or edit your spreadsheets. The graphs and graphics you can add to your tables are also much improved. Consequently, it's now much easier to correct mistaken actions.

One of the best new features it comes with allows you to restore spreadsheets you've accidentally closed. Microsoft Excel is still a bit intimidating for beginners, although luckily it comes with tons of templates that help users get a better handle on it. That's not to say the application has become any simpler to learn to use. The ribbon-like interface caused controversy when it was first introduced, but it's much easier to navigate for beginners, since you can now see all the options instead of having them hidden away in menus. This version of Microsoft Excel has improved access across the board, from a cleaner interface to better usability. With spreadsheet sharing, Microsoft Excel is the ideal way of sharing, managing and analyzing information.
