I’m an artist. The vast majority of artists (even some great ones) live very austere, under-appreciated lives.

I’m…

However, business users often embed entire end-to-end processes in Excel because of the ease of making instant changes to the data, calculations, and outputs. The usual issue in replacing Excel-driven processes is that business requirements constantly change and…
