Microsoft Excel is an extremely useful spreadsheet software widely used for organizing,
analyzing, and presenting data/data sets. With its user-friendly interface and industry
leading features, Excel facilitates efficient data management for both personal and
professional purposes so that users can make informed decisions while enhancing
their productivity.
Lingo is a modeling language which enables the efficient creation of linear, nonlinear, and
integer problems with a high degree of clarity. Its modeling language simplifies the
expression of models, utilizing summations and subscripted variables in an intuitive
manner, reminiscent of traditional pen-and-paper problem-solving methodologies.
Tableau is a well known BI tool used extensively for its data visualization features. It is
frequently utilized alongside other traditional BI tools. Analysts use this tool for its data
exploration capabilities through SQL and other data crafting solutions. This in turn
empowers business decision-makers to analyze data seamlessly without the need for
coding expertise.
