So many of our clients (I'm still working in the BI space) are still using Excel workbooks and sending them to each other over email. I think it will take quite some time before we see any major improvements in this area. But I agree with you. Some of the stuff I see makes me cringe.

Excel is the appropriate tool for one-off adhoc analysis.

When something needs to be regularly produced, then and only then should it be moved to a formal BI solution.

People have a lot of questions and Excel is an approachable tool for small analysis that users can self-serve with.
