    yep. it’s the one tool that is incredibly versatile in the workplace and for which I do not have a replacement

    are there better tools? quite often. would those tools be able to be used by anybody opening the files you are sharing with them? nope. and keeping things in the same format means it’s very easy to move data across files and link things up.

    forms, trackers, calculations, data logging, all easy to reference/transfer to one another and I can expect anybody on my team to be able to work with files I send them without having to teach them how to use a different program

      And you dare not risk your financial data when plotting a migration! Been there, done that, no one ever suggested moving from Excel to another product.
