Analysis. The first four letters are the most important. Managers like
numbers.

Morning, Whirlers!
Why do some people love spreadsheets so much? I rarely use them at all.
I am doing a project where some analysis is called for, which I did. I wrote
an executive summary. I put all the information I discovered into a Google
Drive document, because it didn't need a spreadsheet, and shared it with the
person with whom I am working.
The response was basically, "That's great, but can I have it in a
spreadsheet?"
