Excel works well with other applications because of the overall usefulness it provides for the user to obtain data to work with. Excel also has a Microsoft query where there is an option called the Choose data source dialog box. The dialog box provides a place to search or link external sources to a workbook. In addition, another function that helps bring external sources into a workbook would be pulling information from the database of the computer. This can be easily done by having downloaded wanted information and going through the database to retrieve the saved information to bring up into a current workbook to work on. Most people may be intimidated by macros in excel being that the functions has a bad reputation of losing data if not used correctly. Though, when is used correctly the function is a very helpful tool to be able to save an auto fill of a task, so that the user can easily repeat a step faster than before.
