I agree with you 95%. I would have stuck with Office XP except for the fact that Excel 2007 finally let you have more than 65K rows in a spreadsheet. That alone was the selling point for me. I have several reports that are 100K rows that I need to review.
That was it, everything else worked great for me.
Wow. How do you review something like that within a reasonable amount of time?
It's actually not too bad. What I do is compare an outside source against my data. With a combination of vlookups, filters, and some good old fashion leg work, I can usually get it done within 5 business days.
Of course it helps when 95% is taken care of by the vlookup.

Excel is not a database. I could see a sheet importing data from a database for calculations, but for storage there are databases.
I'm using Office 2000 it works I'm happy with it I would consider upgrading but will it have only that horrendous ribbon interface. Every time I use 2007 I end up having to google where they've hidden things.
Same here. I'll give up Office 2000 when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

" I actually like 2007 and 2010's ribbon interface! It took me a week to figure out where everything is, but once you are through that learning curve, it's really nice. Like keyboard shortcuts in the ribbon. Just press alt, and you can see what keys take you where. Don't even have to remember the shortcuts.
