Probably a time saver but IMO building a model from scratch is the only way to really understand any business. You can use a tool like this and it will certainly let you “get a handle on it” but I would still recommend the manual method.

Thanks for the feedback.

While Fluxo lets you automate a bunch of tedious things, it's still on the user to create the whole business logic of the model.

The idea is that you can build a model exactly as you would in Excel, just easier. Some examples: - instead of copying and pasting data from other places, integrating through an api - instead of duplicating entire sheets to create multiple scenarios, just add a scenario to a dropdown - instead of having to create separate tables for monthly, quarterly, and annual views, select how you want aggregations to work and change the view with a toggle.
