I ditched Excel and R for SPSS, here's why

During my undergraduate days as a statistics student, I tried various data analysis tools to find the ideal one. I started with Excel until I was introduced to R and learned to use it through paid tutorial classes. While R is a very powerful and flexible tool, once you learn how to use it properly, you might find it difficult to use as it requires coding knowledge. After a while, I discovered the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and liked what I saw. Over time, SPSS became the most prominent data analysis solution in my toolbox. So, how can it work with you?
