I hear that using excel is very helpful. I’m not a expert but I hear lots of people saying that excel is helpful, I use google sheets.

[@JDFromAnotherPlanet]

@@canadianinvestor3926 Do you have the projects in which you used Excel sheet?

[@canadianinvestor3926]

J D I don’t work in finance but I remember doing a few financial analysis projects in school. One example is where we had a paper company and we used IRR “internal rate of return”. And also did payout and NPV “Net Present Value”. We also worked on an income statement balance sheet and cashflow statement, so I would say that excel is very helpful. We also did ratio analysis.
