Advantages And Disadvantages Of MS Excel Programming

By Kathleen Kennedy


MS products are the most widespread software products in the various homes and offices today. They are the key programs that facilitate various office tasks such as document preparation, presentations, among other tasks. They are simple programs and highly customized. One can easily train on how to use them without much struggle. The strengths and weaknesses of MS excel programming are discussed below.

The excel package is a mathematical data manipulation software. It can also support simulation through writing code. Macros are developed through programming using basic visual language on the platform provided by the product. The program also allows large scale data entry and manipulation such as sorting, calculations of average, mean and graphical analysis. The program is strong to handle a great deal of data but with limited functions.

Some advantages of package are the fact that it gives constant execution of data. Once a function is defined, and the input determined the outcome will always show consistency. Unless for human error the results produced show a consistency all through. This is a desirable feature, especially when dealing with data that is consistent with nature.

The other desirable characteristic of a module is its ability to perform calculations faster and accurately. Once the functions are served with the appropriate inputs, the execution is a faster process, and results are laid out. The trait saves time and improves on the employee production. The powerful computational power of the product saves energy used and time too and thus maximizing utilization of resources.

For good macro programmers, the program will hardly introduce an error in the outcome. Any error that may be noticed will be that of the program either syntax or logical one. The package is designed so well such that it hardly introduce errors. It is thus a reliable program, and its outcomes can be depended upon for any decision making.

The few disadvantages or rather constraints with the use of the database are the fact that it requires you to have learned how to write code in basic visual language or simply have programming knowledge. This is one of the languages used to write code for performing some various tasks on a basic visual platform. However, the language is not hard to learn and thus macro programming is common.

The other constraint with the software is the fact that it does not have a feature that you can transfer the whole program coded to another machine. In other words no stand-alone excel or visual basic program. For you to import a program, you have to rewrite the code in another machine.

The last constraint is the debugging of the code. It is very hard to write a code and find that you have no errors. Checking for errors is quite time-consuming. The macros developed may need you to offer some technical assistance to those working with your code. The other challenge is the continual upgrading of the package after some time. Code written in the previous versions may not run in the newer versions and will need debugging.
