Overview

Worksheets are an integral part of financial analysis and audit. Experts pore over pages of mundane data to make interpretations and permutations. During such operations, they have to be meticulous as overlooking even a minor detail would prove disastrous and require starting the calculation afresh. The ability to manipulate data and perform calculations automatically using a software application certainly has more advantages over the printed format.
