I have heard these horror stories so many times but never witnessed them in reality. From my point of view, excel is a great way to ensure knowledge is not hidden, as you have a file format that embeds calculations, data and outputs. It can be ugly, but nothing that a seasoned excel warrior cannot parse and there’s plenty of them around. Now if someone as an employer does not even have copies of the files, they have bigger problems than Excel itself.

The other horror stories of errors in spreadsheets, them yes I have witnessed them regularly.
