Data analysis tool like MS excel
data-analysis, excel, graph
Solution
If you need good data analysis toolkit, you can spend some time and try R --- free software statistics/data analysis toolkit. It has pretty good graphic capabilities, especially via ggplot2 package for static graphics and ggobi for dynamic data exploration.
Data import/export pretty easy too --- R can import csv/tsv, or Excel data via ODBC and so on.
- Pretty good introduction in exploration data analysis with R and ggplot
- Introduction to R
- Data Import/Export
It takes some time to learn, but after that you are not limited with tool capabilities: R can handle plenty of analysis tasks: from simple data crunching, pivoting. aggregation tasks to advanced statistics/machine learning methods: clustering/classification/ regression etc.
If you more more interested in data transformation with simple calculations, you can use some kind of Extract-Transform-Load toolkit, such as Talend Open Studio.
Problem
I have a large number of data that needs to be compared, We are using Microsoft EXCEL, it costs, and it is slow, besides the graph that it generates is also not up to the mark. Now, is their any other tool, that is free, and has good graph's facility. Thank you.
