A comment on The Tyranny of Spreadsheets. Parent comment
Spreadsheets are like a Swiss Army Knife.
I have used them for
- Templates for Printing - Data Analysis - Financial Tracking - Report Generation - Calculation sheet for engineering stuff
and a multitude more uses that I cannot even remember now.
They are not a hammer, though that is one form in which they can work.
Ultimately they are a tool, and a damn fine tool at that.
Their potential is limited only by the creativity of the user using them.
