Both have advantages, depending on what you want to do. An accounts package can only do accounts, whereas a spreadsheet can do many kinds of things. An accounts package is specifically designed to do accounts, making it easier to set them up, whereas with a spreadsheet you would have to work out all the formulas yourself.

Can tally can be used as Excel?

No. They are different types of software. Tally is for accounting and Excel is a spreadsheet. However, there are some things that both could do so you would have a choice in some cases. Tally is more specialised, so it can do accounting better in some ways, but there are so many other things that Excel can do although it would take more effort to do accounting than with Tally.
