An industry leading Technology Trade publication recently announced the 'Application of the Decade' - Microsoft's Excel !

At companies big and small, from Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire Valley, NC to Wall Street, Excel runs nearly all of America's back-office financial operations, and lets managers and workers from all kinds of departments collect, analyze and share rows and columns of information with colleagues, business partners and anyone else.

I even know one or two that still use Lotus 1-2-3, the original spreadsheet applications.

Excel can be your best tool or your worst enemy. Be sure you know how to control the auto-sum tool and are not calculating the wrong numbers. One study found that found that 80 percent of spreadsheets contain significant errors. And business owners who rely on the accuracy  of unchecked spreadsheets may find themselves in trouble.
