Excel is a spreadsheet program, and PowerPoint is a program for making slide shows.
Power Point:

  • A multimedia maker
  • Generally used to make slide shows
  • Also capable of making "mini games"
  • You can import pictures and text into it
  • You can use different formats and functions

Exel:

  • A data base creator
  • Generally used to make lists and address books
  • Also capable of mail mergeing
  • You can import pictures and text into it
  • You can use mostly tables

So as you can see they are mostly different, I myself prefer PowerPoint in most projects though!!!
