      Excel is my daily driver for basic data analysis and graph making. For more complicated tasks I use R.

      Mechanical engineer here who could not live without it. And every meeting I go to, we are presented with Excel charts in one form or another. I love it tbh.

          A few main ones: either to list out current & upcoming projects wrt cost & time (the logistical/budget parts) and also columns to sort out things like a pressure, temperature, volume, voltage, current, surface area, etc, depending on what you’re working on. My degree is ME, but I also work a lot of electrical projects so the ability to sort all of these properties out in an easy to read chart is immensely helpful.

      Excel is great at manipulating low amounts of data and building functions and queries without any programming needed.
