i am an expert in automating the preparation of financial statements through Vba "macro" excel. I also did some programming through the "Macro" vba as a tool tool app. And it turns out with MS. Excel, the data processing becomes very full power over and in many variations including: 1. Excel application, 2. Excel Calculator, 3. Excel Dashboard, 4. Excel Database, 5. Excel Formulas and functions, etc. So, do not limit the idea to process data through MS Excel.
