Excel - which do you prefer, and why Thought this might be a good one.

Do you prefer Apples spreadsheet solution (Numbers), or Microsofts Excel Both are extremely powerful for sure, but there are pros and cons to each.

I had to vote for Excel purely because of its flexibility and utility.

I find Numbers makes it extremely easy to produce a good looking final product.

Where Excel shines is in its utility dealing with statistics and the use of VBA scripted macros.

In my current job, Excel offers exactly what I need, but I could definitely see why people performing certain tasks would prefer Numbers hands-down.

Excel - which do you prefer, and why Have to go with Excel for the time being.

For what I have to use spreadsheets for, I have to use Excel for the VBA scripting and integration with other Microsoft solutions (Sharepoint, etc.).

Most of this is due to my company being Windows-centric for these things, although I still dont think Apples collaborative solutions (iCloud) are good enough for most companies.

Excel - which do you prefer, and why Numbers multiple tables in one worksheet feature implementation allows formats to be customized for each table in a way Excel simply cant match.

This, for me, seals the comparison in favor of Numbers.:) All times are GMT -5.
