Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application. You use it to perform simple computations and statistical analysis of data sequences and tables of data, the results of which can be used to produce more complex computations or to produce charts and graphs of the data. User-defined scripts can be used to provide a more controlled environment for entering and processing the data, however the data sets tend to be small and easily-managed. There are physical limits imposed upon how much data can be stored in any one spreadsheet and it doesn't take long for the amount of data to greatly affect processing speed. As a result, spreadsheets are often used to model database systems as part of the database design process. Databases provide similar functionality to spreadsheets but without any of the constraints and can therefore scale far more easily, however they are inherently more complex to design.
