I will share any other feedback if I get more details. Agreed, software and IT people have not thought of everything. As an industry, we are trying harder than ever to understand our users and make it easier for them to get their job done. They have not stopped just yet but considering it.

It is sad this company expended so much energy only to back out at the end on their implementation though. I am guessing that there were probably very valid reasons for their decision to halt the implementation at the last moment. Do you know what those reasons were? IT and software as an industry are still not offering the flexibility needed by business. Most software packages need many more options for configuration through paramaters. IT developers and engineers continue to believe that they've 'thought of everything' when engineering software. They are wrong. I am NOT surprised by this decision to remain with Excel at all.
