Financial data sheets

Microsoft Excel has increased in popularity mainly due to its functionality in terms of financial data sheets, making operating a small to medium size business just so much easier.

The new and more advanced version for 2007 is one of the most powerful software packages for small and medium size businesses wanting a tool for the creation of detailed financial data sheets. The software provides even more functionality through the sharing capabilities which are important for team work, project coordination, and decision making.

 

 

 

The friendly interface known as the Microsoft Office Fluent enhances the user’s experience through visualization features for the spreadsheets, well presented graphs and specifically, Pivot Table viewing abilities.

If you utilize the latest Excel with Share Point Server in 2007 format, you can even gain more by having access to Excel Services. The Excel Services is a server based solution for the management, usage and sharing of financial data sheets and other spreadsheet applications.

What is the secret?

The built-in feature of Ecma Office XML formats provides for enhanced data integration between the financial data sheets and the back-ends. It also allows for the reduction of files which are too large, excellent data recovering abilities, and compatibility with other business solutions.

Additional improvements that ensure better functionality of the spreadsheets include:

  • Fast and easy creation of effective financial data sheets.
  • Print read spreadsheets help to increase productivity, information sharing and reduce time wastage.
  • Enhanced row and column features such as the ability to handle up to one million rows. This is especially useful when you need to import a lot of data requiring complex and quick calculation.
  • Ability to create tables from the comprehensive table styles resources.
  • Stabilized column headings to improve scrolling and viewing experiences.
  • Auto fill feature, which allows for automatic filling and expansion of tables.
  • Allows for the use of Office Art. A wide selection of styles, clipart and graphics helps to provide a well polished and consistent document whereby the spreadsheets can be inserted in any of the other Microsoft Office documents.
  • Enhancements such as chart formatting tools to increase the professional presentation of spreadsheets.
  • Obtain a consistent look and feel through the diagram and chart sharing ability with Office and PowerPoint 2007. This is especially helpful when you create presentations.
  • Quick formatting through the selection of a specific cell style for a professional report.
  • Excellent visual aids such as 3D and glowing help to make presentations attractive and attention grabbers.
  • WYSIG functionality provided by an enhanced page lay-out to ensure fewer printing errors.
  • Enhanced formula bar with an auto-complete function to help you in correct input of formulas.

One of the best features is the enhanced analysis tool for financial data sheets, allowing for visualization of projects, identification of patterns and evaluating company information more accurately. This is made possible through the conditional formatting function which uses visualization systems for easy identification of trends.

It is also possible to reorient data fast enabling the quick location of information. Another facility that helps to locate specific entries is the 64 level support functionality for sorting and filtering of entries. This feature is even more enhanced by the colour coding filtering which is also available. You can even make use of Microsoft SQL 2005 to help you query the financial data sheets.

Improved information and data sharing capabilities

It is possible to share confidential information with a larger audience through an HTML feature allowing you to share specified information with others through a web browser, whilst still hiding information which should stay confidential.
