One benefit is saving time. Excel saves you time by offering an easy to use GUI (graphical user interface). A major feature of this interface is the Ribbon, which displays icons for the tools you’ll likely use most often.
Excel is great at data manipulation: sorting, filtering, tabulating and calculating data. Each of the tools to do these tasks are immediately available on the Home tab of the Ribbon, making it easy to use.
