Программа Microsoft Excel предоставляет пользователям необходимые инструменты и функции для работы с электронными таблицами. Ее возможности постоянно расширяются, исправляются различные ошибки и корректируются присутствующие элементы. Для нормального взаимодействия с софтом его следует периодически обновлять. В разных версиях Экселя этот процесс немного отличается.
