Are You Still Using Spreadsheets? (Unfortunately, You’re Not Alone.)
I loved this recent post on The Data Doghouse, which underscores why “spreadsheets from hell” are still the most pervasive BI tool for business users. Last year’s TDWI study on Visual Reporting agrees. That survey found that nearly two-thirds of BI users are

The Status Quo is Costing You Money
