Rant - We DON'T NEED a suite of SaaS/reporting tools. Ppl just need Excel skills.

Nowadays it seems that every company uses different software, reporting tools, data analytics tools

Every time you move time you've got to learn a while new set of commands/instructions/layout

WHEN

Excel could have just done it

Most of the time I end up having to export the data to Excel/auditors export to Excel anyway to check the tool is functioning properly

Plus, these new tools only do one thing and lack the versatility of excel: need a financial model? Check. Need a KPI dashboard? Check. Need a tracker/Gantt chart or whatever? Check.

Just seems like a few ppl who couldn't be bothered to learn some formulae designed dozens of versions of the same thing just because it "looked prettier"

Does my head in.

Being back the Excel hegemony.
