From 1 Billion Excel Users to 20 Million in the Gap: Who Will Empower Them?

"With over 1 billion Excel users worldwide, Microsoft Excel remains the most widely used tool for business productivity and data work. It’s used across industries for budgeting, reporting, planning, and analysis. Yet behind this broad adoption lies a growing challenge: data access. While Excel is powerful, most users don’t have access to enterprise databases, and even fewer can query them using SQL. This creates a silent divide between where the data lives and who needs it."  This LinkedIn post explains what D4E is trying to solve.  more











Closing the Excel-SQL Divide with D4E

"While Excel remains the most widely used business tool—serving over 1 billion users—most of those users still can’t access live enterprise data.
Only a small fraction are fluent in SQL. The rest depend on exports, delayed reports, or manual workarounds.
At Data Mart for Excel, we believe this gap isn’t just a technical problem—it’s a usability problem. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝟒𝐄 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝟒𝐄𝐒𝐐𝐋 - Our tools are designed to make SQL-powered data access simple, secure, and accessible—without needing users to write code."   This LinkedIn post explains D4E's response to the 20 million gap in Excel users.   more

Using Excel for Business Intelligence and ERP Software - Are You Really Using Excel?
"Many ERP Systems and Business Intelligence vendors will claim their product interoperates with Excel all the time when in fact this operation only involves some form of extract and copy into Excel. Vendors and product presenters are perplexed when, after a thorough Business Intelligence or ERP software presentation mentioning Excel one-click downloads/extracts/reporting at numerous times, the accountants in the room will still say, 'I wish I can do all that in Excel'."   This article will try to uncover what accountants mean by this.  more

 
Spreadsheet Overload - How can we minimize it?
"Years ago, spreadsheet overload was defined as using spreadsheets effectively as data bases to store substantial amounts of organizational information.  Maintenance and reporting of such data quickly got out of control as data grew.  With the ease of use and easy availability of robust data bases and data storage solutions,  it is easy to accept that spreadsheet overload should be a thing of the past.  At the very least personal data bases, such as MS Access can be used to store information instead of Excel spreadsheets.  Does spreadsheet overload still happen in organizations?"   This article will discuss the possible causes that create spreadsheet overload even in today's general availability of data bases and Business Intelligence tools.  coming soon...
 
Data Collection versus Data Analysis - Are you functioning at 80/20 ratio?
"Finance accountants today spend more time doing data collection rather than data analysis.  It is commonly accepted that up to 80% of Finance function's resources are spent on data collection time.  These are resources that could be spent more on analysing accounting information and to help management guide the business.   ERP Systems and Business Intelligence (BI) tools have been proposed to help compress both data collection and data analysis time."    This article will try to explain some of the common issues that can be encountered.  coming soon...
