[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 7924171, member: 108985"]I just have to stop you, right here. It is just not true. Over 90% of the excel spread sheets that are made are simply WRONG. The data is wrong as it has zero contraints on data entry. Additionally to that, it is a PIA to use and set up. So there is that. That is why accounting firms have specialized software that is not excel or a spreadsheet for the serious work. Human Interface Design is a science, and it is taught at NYU. There is also a problem that over time excel changes and breaks with former versions, which is not of little consequence. If you use a Free Software program designed for coins then you have long term stability, free upgrades, direct access to the developers, low cost (or no cost) and an interface designed specifically for the task. That is KISS. Nothing about Excel is simple. It is an animal, and an insecure one at that. But when you are a HAMMER... everything is a nail.[/QUOTE]
