Its Friday, time for another poll.

What is your favorite Excel feature? - Poll

This weeks topic is inspired from a discussion Jordan started in our forums (#).

What is your favorite feature of Excel?

I will go first.

My favorite features are,

  • Conditional formatting: Quickly highlight something that is not alright (or meets conditions), see trends with data bars or heat maps.
  • Pivot tables: Turn data in to understandable information with just a few clicks. When combined with slicers & conditional formats, becomes very powerful.
  • Formulas: Ofcourse, with out formulas, Excel would be a glorified notepad!

What about you? What are your favorite features in Excel? Go ahead and tell us by posting a comment.

    I'll admit it, I never saw this feature before. I was familiar with using Watch Window in VB, but not in workbook. I'll definitely use this in future when building dashboards!
