Azreen's personal circumstances and attitudes aside, reluctance to use
Excel can easily be explained for many Stata users.
1. It may not be installed (especially common for Mac and Unix/Linux users).
2. The dataset may not fit in Excel.
3. #1 and #2 don't bite but you prefer not to do that.
3.1 You prefer to work with one program where possible.
3.2 You have zero or minimal Excel skills, but prefer to use or extend
your Stata expertise. (Many Stata users developed experience with
Stata for several years before Excel even appeared.)
3.3 You distrust Excel as an environment for data management and analysis.
I could go on, but the point is that this puzzle may be no puzzle at all.
