Make better decisions quickly with easy-to-analyze spreadsheets
Microsoft Excel is the worldwide standard for business analysis, bringing clarity and insight to the numbers that shape your world. And with Excel 2010, a good thing gets even better, with new, at-a-glance visual tools, easier ways to publish and share your work, and the ability to access your spreadsheets from practically anywhere, including PC, Web, or phone*.
Better spreadsheets
Analyze, manage, and share information
Powerful data analysis and visualization tools
Features
- With the new Sparklines feature, you can create small charts in a single cell to quickly discover patterns in your data
- With the new search filter, you can spend less time sifting through large data sets in your tables and PivotTable views, and more time analyzing data
- Conditional formatting gives you more control over styles and icons, improved data bars, and the ability to highlight specific items in a few clicks
- The new Microsoft Office Backstage view replaces the traditional File menu to let you save, share, print, and publish your workbooks with just a few clicks
- The Slicer feature gives you a rich visualization of your PivotTable view so you can dynamically segment and filter the data to display precisely what you need
- Post your spreadsheets online and then access, view, and edit from just about anywhere
- The ability to display different data views directly in a PivotChart, independent of PivotTable views, helps you analyze and capture the most compelling picture of your numbers
- For power users, Excel 2010 offers 64-bit scalability for working with memory-intensive datasets, supporting spreadsheets greater than the 2-gigabyte file size of previous Excel versions

This product includes both 32- and 64-bit versions for a single computer. We recommend the 32-bit version, which runs great on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows. People who routinely use very large documents or spreadsheets that need more than 2 GB of memory may want to run the 64-bit version, but many common add-ins for Office don't run correctly in the 64-bit edition.
Processor
500 MHz or faster processor
