Why buy something when there's an alternative that does the same thing, better, and is free?
http://openoffice.org/
This has replacements / alternatives for Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Access
And please try Firefox - an Internet Explorer replacement / alternative. It's faster, safer, more up to date and easier to use.

Excel is a great tool depending on what you're using it for. I use it almost everyday for work because I make spreadsheets, graphs, reports, etc and Excel makes it a lot easier. As far as paying for it...it's included in Microsoft Office so if you have word, powerpoint, etc, you should have Excel also. If you do not have microsoft office and would like to purchase it, it can cost around $170.00. You can purchase it from Amazon.com and places like that. Hope this helps

Excel is the very best...........however you can get a very good one from "open office" for free and also Google has an online spread sheet program that my friends use and like very much and you don't have to download anything....and it is also free. Before laying out the big bucks for Excel I'd look in to the two I mentioned and I know there are more free ones out there. Just do a search for 'free spread sheet programs'.

Excel is an excellent program.
One of the few things that Microsoft did right.
I guess statistically they can't be bad at everything.

Like anybody else suggested use discover and replace (CTRL+H). i could additionally recommend choosing between the "symbols" which you do not choose and replica & previous it into the discover what verbal substitute field. save the replace with verbal substitute field empty. specifically circumstances you are able to not form a logo, so copying and pasting can get around that. That way you will possibly be certain to swap in basic terms that image. solid success.

Do you need to create and use spreadsheets?
If so, it is the most popular and widely compatible software available for the task at a consumer level, and if you need to create spreadsheets I'd advise that you buy it.

As far as spredsheets go I guess it's as good as any. Do you mean buy it when you say paying for it? If so it's worth purchasing.
