I am all to familar with “spreadsheet hell”. We often have several different versions and no one can identify which is most current (You nailed that one). Its funny in hindsight, however, the reality is it is costing us time and money. Here, you really relate to the home grown user and make a convincing argument for switching to an elaborate platform that will be more efficient and effective. Its easier to digest making a big decision such as this one when the writer seems rather animated.

Thank you for the comment. Can I assume you found humor in the post based on your ‘fun’ experience with spreadsheets and forecasting?
