3.0 out of 5 stars Excel is Great, but is this a giant leap forward? No., September 23, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2010 (CD-ROM)

I bought it for the "sparklines" feature and was really shocked at how useless they were. There is only one way to use them, they lack any flexibility, and are like a jpeg, not a chart.

Besides that, there isn't much new. I bought it because they said it fixed the bugs with VBA script and charting. Believe me, nothing has changed.

Our business is going to freeware because the amount you have to pay for MS applications and the increasing lack of support for their products (not having a help file? Puulllleeeeaaase!!)lend me to want to go that way, even though I know I would have to have MS for some things.

I'm tired of having to buy "Bibles" to figure out MS products, and then really having to do it myself in the end. I learn more on the internet than I do from MS, or Bibles.

Buy it if you have to have the latest or greatest, but it's not much of an improvement over 2007 and it has even more compatability issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars give me the old version please., November 30, 2011

This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2010 (CD-ROM)

I've been using Excel for roughly 20 years. When I got my new PC with Windows 7, this version of Excel was loaded. At first, it seems this version has more features, which is fine. But when it comes to actually USING this software, get ready to fume. What used to take 2 steps now takes about 10. It's SO un-user-friendly compared to the older, XP, version that I'm about to just junk it.

Poor job Excel. You took a simplistic, easy to use program and turned it into a confusing mess.

This review is from: Microsoft Excel 2010 (CD-ROM)

Excel continues to improve with this release from Microsoft. If you are upgrading from Excel 2007, you will notice these improvements:
1) Pivot table improvements. Calculate % of Parent Item, Rank, and more. Create dashboards with visual filters called Slicers. Fill in the blank cells along the row area of a pivot table. Create Asymmetric Pivot Tables with Named Sets.
2) The free PowerPivot add-in works only with Excel 2010 and offers the ability to create pivot tables from data on different worksheets. You also can process more than a million rows of data.
3) Sparklines allow you to create hundreds of tiny, word-sized charts in a few clicks. While they aren't as robust as the Sparklines that Tufte wrote about, you can use some mid-level Excel formulas to add labels and shading to the sparklines.
4) New functions for scientists. Better stats functions. Equation Editor. The AGGREGATE function.
5) Publish your workbooks to the web using the SkyDrive. Interact with and/or edit the worksheet in the browser.
6) Improved Paste Options throughout Office 2010. See what the paste will look like before you do it.
7) Unlike Excel 2007, this version of Excel offers a File menu, which is vastly improved.
8) Unlike Excel 2007, you can easily customize the ribbon interface. Move icons around or build your own ribbon tab.
9) Various improvements throughout the product. Examples: Smarter Fill-Handle Double-Click to copy formulas to the bottom of the data set. Dramatically improved background removal tool for pictures. Filter dropdowns now offer text search. The ability to show negative data bars in the new Conditional Formatting options that were introduced in Excel 2007. More processes can take advantage of multi-core technology. Pattern fills return for charts.
10) Improved macro recorder support for chart creation.

If you are upgrading from Excel 2003 or earlier, you will enjoy the increased grid size (1 million rows x 16K columns), better data visualizations such as Data Bars, Icon Sets, SmartArt, and a new Charting Engine. Sort/Filter by color. Functions introduced in Excel 2007 include IFERROR, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and the Cube Functions.
