Fair point but anyone actually doing serious data entry and analysis and not just using SUM and a few macros will likely be using python, matlab, or R to analyze large sets of data. Excel absolutely craps the bed.

Libre office calc can probably do a serviceable job for most MBAs needing to make a projections graph justifying firing 1k workers to raise C-suite bonuses by 20% lol

Excel‘s strength is to be an integrated IDE and database that can be abused for many things.
