3. Why should we upgrade to 2007/2010
1. We may need more than 65,000 rows on a worksheet. Excel 2007 allows
over a million rows.
2. We may need more than 256 columns. Excel 2007 allows over 16000
columns.
3. We do a lot of graphics work and need the new graphics tools and options.
4. We do a lot of pivot table work and need the new pivot table features in
2007
5. We are receiving workbooks that are Excel 2007 workbooks
6. Office XML Formats allow for better data integration between documents and
back-end systems.
7. Business dashboards can be easily created from spreadsheets to track
key performance indicator.
8. We can import external data into a spreadsheet by using pre-configured
external sources of business information
9. Developers can use the Office Excel 2007 calculation engine in other
applications, such as a Web-based mortgage calculator or an options pricing
model.
