I need to know something regarding your workplace, specifically, how you work with Excel (or other spreadsheet applications).
-
Generally, what do you use Excel for? Keeping track of something (inventory, contact information, etc)? Performing a calculation? Graphs?
-
How often do you use it a day? And is it just repeated use (maybe same problem, different data set)? Or solving different problems entirely?
-
How many Excel spreadsheets do you share with coworkers or groups? How do you share it (just passing around files, or a network drive, a versioning system, Sharepoint, etc.)?
-
If you're working with a set of data, is that data ultimately stored in Excel? Or do you import it or copy it in from somewhere else?
-
Have you used a spreadsheet that had "macros" or scripts running on it? If so, what did the script do within the spreadsheet?
-
If a particular spreadsheet were to completely disappear, how critical would that be to business function?
-
If you had to choose, what would you say is Excel's best feature? And the one you couldn't live without? And what would be its worst?
Thanks for your time.
