SPSS&EXCEL

SPSS and Excel both allow for data organization and statistical analysis, but have some key differences. SPSS can perform complex analytics like factor analysis and regression, while Excel lacks a paper trail and becomes unwieldy with large data sets. One advantage of SPSS is importing data from other sources, while Excel allows creating equations for projections and budgets. However, SPSS has more limited visualization capabilities and requires more training to use fully, while Excel's customization and combining data is awkward.
