Excel is spreadsheets software included in Microsoft Office that is used in a high number of public and private companies all over the world. This program allows carrying out many operations such as fitting experimental data to mathematical functions. These tasks are usually performed in chemical laboratories and, accordingly, it seems reasonable to train professionals in the use of these tools. In this work, four fitting methodologies using this program have been studied by solving some practical examples of chemical data, considering their advantages and disadvantages.
