Spreadsheets are fine for minor business/commercial data analysis. They are not
designed to be statistical packages. A package like SPSS is designed for a wide
variety of statistical applications across many disciplines. It shares many
features of a spreadsheet in the user interface. It is a package not a
programming language. A person who is going to use statistics does not have to
become a programmer.
(Although exposure to a programming language or two will be a help to
statisticians.)
