Since you are reading this blog, it may be likely that you have
influence within your company as regards the software they adopt. When it comes to Excel, a recent survey
showed that many companies still use Excel
2003, some use Excel 2007, and a
comparative few have adopted Excel 2010.
Once again, since you are a reader of this blog, you are probably
and Early
Adapter, and would like to see your company update to the latest
version of Excel. To that end, I
have condensed the most compelling reasons to update:
Reason to Upgrade from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007
- More Room: 15 times more rows and 62 times more columns
- Pivot Tables: Many enhanced pivot table features
- Versatile Functions/Formulas: Over 8 times the number of arguments and
length
- XML Formats: Better integration with back-end systems
- Dashboards: Easily created
to track key indicators
- Recording Chart Macros: Now available in Excel 2010
- Sparklines: Great new
mini-charts that can enhance understanding of data
- Statistical Functions: Financial and math functions, as well as the wizard have been much improved.
- Conditional Formatting: Engaging and intuitive new formatting
now available in Excel 2010
- Improved Productivity: The company’s Excel Gurus can leverage the enhanced features
Like so many other things in our increasingly technological world,
if you don’t keep up on a regular basis, you can one day find yourself being passed
by at the parade of progress.
