3.) Advantages / Disadvantages: Edit and import file times in Excel or Calc!

 
 
Editing and importing file times into Excel or Calc has both advantages and disadvantages:
 

Advantages:



 
Ease of Use:

Excel and Calc provide a user-friendly interface that makes editing file times easier. Most users are familiar with either application and can therefore quickly work with the time data editing functions.
 
Extensive functions:

Both programs offer a variety of functions for editing time data, including calculations, formatting and filtering options. This allows users to perform complex operations on their time data.
 
Flexibility:

Excel and Calc allow users to edit and import time data in a variety of ways. You can import data from various sources, edit it, and export it to various formats depending on the needs of your project.
 

Disadvantages:


 
Limited data size:

Excel and Calc have a limited capacity for the number of rows and columns they can process. When working with very large amounts of data, you may encounter performance issues or may not be able to process all of the data at the same time.
 
Compatibility issues:

When you import and export data between different versions of Excel or between Excel and Calc, you may encounter compatibility issues. Some functionality or formatting may be lost or misinterpreted, resulting in data inconsistencies.
 
Data security:

Excel and Calc do not always offer the same security as applications developed specifically for data processing. There is a risk of data loss or unauthorized access, especially if the files are not properly protected.
 
License Cost:

Excel is part of Microsoft Office, which is paid, while Calc is part of LibreOffice, which is free. If you use Excel, you may have to pay license fees for the software, while Calc offers a free alternative.
 

Overall, Excel and Calc provide a powerful solution for editing and importing file times, but it is important to consider the above pros and cons to make the best decision for your specific scenario.
