By Sarah Lee


In this day and age it is almost unthinkable to be forced to do without a computer. Businesses, especially, have come to rely on computers a great deal. They are used for banking, ordering, research, marketing, communication and for record keeping, to name just a few functions. As businesses are all about profits, it goes without saying that numbers play an important role in their day to day operations. With experienced MS Excel consulting Sacramento companies aim to make their computers work even harder for them.

Spreadsheets have been used to manipulate numbers and data for thousands of years. With the advent of computers, spreadsheet programs are routinely included in businesses computing software bundles. Unfortunately, many people do not use their spreadsheet programs because they think that they need to know a lot about mathematics before they can be of use. The fact is that spreadsheet programs are versatile and very useful. They can benefit just about anybody.

Many people have found that their spreadsheet programs try to make things easy for them. These programs contain numerous templates that can be used for a very wide variety of purposes. They are ready made documents that already contain all the headings and formulae necessary to quickly create budgets, invoices, quotations and many other documents used by every business every day.

For many users, the templates supplied with their spreadsheet software are more than adequate to fulfil their needs. There are users, however, especially bigger businesses, that want to make use of their data in order view sets of data in different ways, to create complicated trend analysis and to provide statistics that can be used for strategic planning purposes. These more complicated needs are normally left in the hands of experienced consultants.

Spreadsheet consultants charge hefty fees. However, the offer multiple specialist skills. They need to be absolute masters of the spreadsheet software, knowing how to use every advanced function and formula. In addition, they need extensive knowledge and experience in data modelling, statistical analysis and mathematical data manipulation. They also need to be well versed in the specific field, such as engineering, where they need to work.

Many companies have no idea of just how many documents they have, electronically or otherwise, that can be of great value to them. Historical data can be used to build very sophisticated spreadsheet models and programs that can help decision makers to do their work from a solid base of valid information. Consultants are experts in consolidating data from various sources and to use that data to create solutions to important business questions.

Even the most experienced and skilled spreadsheet consultants cannot do much for a client if his records are not in order. Far too many companies do not store their documents properly, in order and with some kind of system in mind. In addition, documents that contain errors cannot possibly be used to provide useful information. It is important to have systems whereby all data is checked on a regular basis.

Once a business, or even an individual, learns how to use a spreadsheet program they will never look back. These programs are powerful tools that offer numerous features. Learning how to use one is definitely a good investment.
