Why is Excel a no-code tool in disguise?

I have experience working with corporate clients and noticed that they often use Excel for various tasks, even in unexpected ways.

However, after exploring no-code tools, I have realized that Excel is, in fact, a no-code tool in disguise. The similarities between Excel and no-code tools include the following:

- Excel functions as a database by itself, allowing for the storage and manipulation of data without the need for coding.

- It offers multiple views of data, including tables, charts, and pivot tables, without coding.

- It supports basic CRUD actions such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting data without coding.

- It allows for creating formulas and variables, similar to programming, but without coding.

- Without coding, Excel includes many built-in functions, such as math, text operations, and financial functions.

- It is extensible through macros, allowing for additional functionality without coding.

Excel is a powerful no-code data management and analysis tool with these features. Now, it is getting a bit more love from me.
