No software product is used more than Microsoft Excel for the analysis and presentation of quantitative data.
Nevertheless, it is fair to say that you can use Excel to present data effectively, but within severe limits, and only if you’re willing to work around its problems.
To say it can be used for visual data analysis, however, is a stretch that exceeds its reach. To date, Excel is at best an infant in the world of visual data analysis, barely able to roll over.

Visual Data Analysis (VDA) tool packages are powerful software tools that allow the development of complex solutions to visualize and analyze data.
The imaging features of a VDA package are often the most tangible aspect of the tool, but the overall effectiveness of a package is really based on its data manipulation and analysis capabilities.
A robust and flexible VDA tool should contain a broad range of mathematical, statistical and data manipulation capabilities, which are seamlessly tied to the visualization components through a high-level array-based scripting language.

Data analysis is at the heart of many science and engineering fields, and so it is a topic of great interest here at WPI.  Visual data analysis is a field that uses modeling techniques to represent large data sets visually allowing the user or users to search for patterns and structures within the data.  Many visual data analysis tools are also on the horizon that will aid users in their data mining process.

Visual data analysis blends highly advanced computational methods with sophisticated graphics engines to tap the extraordinary ability of humans to see patterns and structure in even the most complex visual presentations.
Data collection and compilation is no longer the tedious, manual process it once was, and tools to analyze, interpret, and display data are increasingly sophisticated, and their use routine in many disciplines.
In advanced research settings, scientists and others studying massively complex systems generate mountains of data, and have developed a wide variety of new tools and techniques to allow those data to be interpreted holistically, and to expose meaningful patterns and structure, trends and exceptions, and more.

Visual data analysis facilitates human-data interaction by highlighting patterns, anomalies and alert conditions in reporting views...tables of data ready for human consumption.
Visual data analysis enables data to be interpreted holistically by exposing contextually meanful attributes of the data set such as patterns, trends, structure, and exceptions.
Strictly speaking, visual data analysis primarily focuses on visual presentation of tabular views ready for human consumption.
