MS Excel Programming Can Give Businesses A Real Edge

By John Kennedy


No business, not even small ones, can operate in this day and age without computers. They are useful in many ways. Most businesses use them to conduct their banking, to communicate with clients, suppliers and employees, to control stock, to track sales and far too many other tasks to mention. But business is all about profit and profit is all about numbers. That is why numerical data is so important to any company. However, with MS Excel programming companies can even use their numerical data in ways they never thought about.

Spreadsheets have been used in ancient civilizations to calculate complex formulae. It is definitely not a modern invention, although modern computerized spreadsheet programs are very powerful calculation tools. Unfortunately, many people still think that it is difficult to learn how to use these programs and therefore they never realize just how versatile and useful they can be. Spreadsheet can be of great value to every business.

It is not necessary to be good at maths to use a spreadsheet program productively. They all come with many templates that can be used to automatically and quickly create very professional business documents such as invoices, budgets, orders, forecasts and many others. The user is only required to enter relevant information and all the calculations are done because the formulae are built into the template already.

Templates are sufficient for the needs of many spreadsheet users but this is not what spreadsheets are really all about. They are extremely powerful number crunchers and they offer advanced functions and features that can be used to create complex formulae and to build sophisticated data models that can be used to perform forecasts and to identify trends, for example. This level of use requires expert knowledge, however.

The services of spreadsheet programmers can be very high. One has to keep in mind, however, that they are very highly skilled professionals. They are not just programmers, but they also have a thorough grounding in statistics, mathematics, data analysis and even finance. In addition, they need to know how to use all the advanced features of the spreadsheet program in order to create the solutions the client requires.

Most companies do not realize just how much data they actually have and how valuable it can be for them. Programmers can help them by consolidating data from various sources and to then use this data to help the client to budget better, to better control stock, to forecast sales and a myriad of other valuable business solutions. With proper use of the data that they already own, companies can become more efficient and profitable.

Any company that realizes the value of their numerical data will take steps to ensure that this data is kept in order and that it is correct and complete at all times. If this is not the case even the most qualified programmer cannot use that data to create feasible solutions. The best course of action is to set a data audit process in place. This will ensure that every entry into the system is checked.

Information is power and numerical data can be turned into very useful information indeed. The high cost of hiring experienced spreadsheet programmers is worth it. They can use this data to give their clients an advantage over their competitors.
