        B.S. Companies underutilze the great potential of Excel &its compatibility w/ most high powered database programs eg. MySql etc. Many are being fooled by quick fix front end programs that don't live up to their hype. @BillGates @Microsoft @MikeBloomberg

        20 Years ago we were able to extract custom reporting from Data Warehouses. Sounds more like advertising than introducing better information going on in this article. Or Maybe they need more talented staff instead of vendors giving them suggestions.

        If the main problem is that Excel "doesn't automatically update," the real problem is that no one at Adobe knows how to use Excel.

        @malcaetano professor são só as versões antigas que teoricamente não seriam aptas?

        O Excel tem erros graves. Mas o maior problema é o baixo conhecimento de matemática e vontade de aprender matemática mais séria e qualificada pelos grupos de analistas. O CEO do texto está equivocado.Excel errado é só consequência.

        Obrigado, professor! Realmente é mais fácil culpar o programa do que as pessoas que estão por trás.

        If not excel, what's the alternative? Finance teams in corporates will go bonkers without it, if you ask them to shun it once and for all.
