Spreadsheets
It’s been more than 30 years since Microsoft released Excel, and in that time, there’s likely been billions of spreadsheets created. How many are you responsible for?
There are now so many spreadsheet programs available that you need a spreadsheet to collate them all!
The fundamental features of Excel haven’t changed much, in that it can handle a great amount of data, display graphs and figures and be programmed to perform many different tasks.
There’s even an old Japanese artist who uses it to create his masterpieces!
– Tatsuo HoriuchiBut when you’re running a business that’s growing, it’s time to be more serious about the programs you use.
Excel Spreadsheet Uses
Although Excel wasn’t designed with awe-inspiring artwork in mind, if you’re talented enough, you can make it.
It’s exactly the same with your financial data that you’re determined to keep stuffing into little cells. Excel was not designed to record every single financial record, and by doing so, you’re making your life more difficult.
It’s not impossible to do either of these things in Excel, but it’s very time consuming.
If you’re creating amazing works of art, we want to see them! If you’re a growing a business, then we need to talk.
What’s Wrong with Spreadsheets?
There’s business tools aplenty, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with Excel. As you grow, however, you need a more suitable solution for more complicated tasks.
A simple mistake in a spreadsheet now could mean an expensive one is made in the future, all because of a misplaced figure!
As you become more successful, relying on spreadsheets will not only hinder your growth but severely affect how successful your business can be.
The longer you rely on multiple spreadsheets and the duplication of data between files or software products, the more chance a mistake will impact your business negatively.
This is a fact, and we’ve written about it before.
