The Challenge
Can you name the most widely used analytical software application in the world? A tool used by over a billion people? If you answered the spreadsheet, then you are correct. The humble spreadsheet, a computing staple dating back the glory days of VisiCalc and Lotus 1-2-3 (ask your parents!), is used on a daily basis by professionals in finance, analytics, sales, operations, marketing, and just about every other business function you can imagine.
While leading spreadsheet software programs such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets have become more powerful over the years, they have also become more complex to learn and use. It can take months for new users to get past the “add up a column of numbers” stage and master the more complex features such as pivot tables, data validation, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Not to mention the hours even the most expert users have to spend on mundane tasks such as cleaning up data (e.g. formatting phone numbers and addresses) and creating reports. There are many powerful things spreadsheets can do that are out of reach for most users. As a result, only a handful of those one billion plus users have truly mastered spreadsheets and can get the very most out of them.
Sourcetable helps supercharge spreadsheet tasks, from the mundane to the time consuming to the powerful.
