Excel Detective

… detangling and making sense of your spreadsheets

Over time many businesses are left with legacy spreadsheets and reports: Microsoft Excel systems that were set up in the past and no longer quite meet business requirements.  Often these spreadsheets contain formulas or macros which are baffling to the remaining users or which no longer suit the way that the business is being developed. Staff using the reports are frustrated at not knowing exactly what the formulas mean or how the calculations work and both time and energy is wasted in trying to fit current work processes into a spreadsheet which is no longer fit for purpose.
