1. Format data, process data, organize data.

2. I use it many times a day. Typically for the same sort of shit.

3. I share a lot, using a shared drive. Only way we pass around data really.

4. It is stored in excel, but exported to Word for reports.

5. No macros at this point because I hate them, but probably should start implementing them.

6. It would suck, but ultimately the data is stored elsewhere. But backups are created daily.

7. Excel's best feature is that anyone can use it... and because of that it is necessary. It's worst feature is that it fucking sucks (ie data manupulation is difficult)
