Answer 1

Uses of excels

1.    Personal fitness log: log the things you eat along with its calories and record it every day. Make a pivot of the data and see how much you have consumed. Along with this, add sleep duration, and measure the number of hours that you have slept each day during the month.

2.     Budget Planner: Make a monthly budget and maintain a log of things you buy in order to keep a track of your budget. This will help to keep a track and you will be more or less in the limits of the budget allocated during the start of the month.

3.    Headache Log: If you experience frequent headaches, then log that and when there is enough data a comparison can be done.

You can make charts and other graphical representations of the data to compare and contrast your trends and can make an efficient analysis. All these features which are present in excel are not available in other applications all at one time.
