Man I love Excel. I can't imagine life without it
I’m a big fan of alteryx for data manipulation - infinitely more powerful than excel and leaves a definitive trail from source files to output. Anaplan looks pretty interesting, but I haven’t used it yet
We left excel and moved on to bigger and better. Found the limitations of excel too.
It can take data from basically any common format and output it in any common format - excel, csv, access and a host of others. Easily can have it pulling data from live databases, systems, shared servers etc. In terms of being dynamic - it’s extremely flexible once you learn the tools and formula language. It can handle infinitely more data than excel - like no issues applying 60 columns of complex logic formulas to 10m+ rows of raw data. I find it most useful in situations where I need to marry together a lot of disparate datasets and know going into the exercise that it will be a trial and error process or know that I’m going to need to heavily manipulate a dataset to get it structured the way I need to to analyze it and know that I will need to update my work for additional months, quarters, years etc. The beauty of alteryx is that every step of manipulation is preserved in your workflow so you can easily change assumption 50 of 100 without loosing significant time redoing steps 1-49 and 51-100 or can easily process a new data set through an existing workflow if you need to add another month or years worth of data later in the project.
Heard great things about alteryx! How does it receive data though? Does it import excel files? Link to databases? How dynamic is it?
Is it programmable? E.g VBA gives us the ability to automate tasks in Excel
What does pwc use if not excel?
What are they using if not excel?
Currently Excel, in the future, there are talks of eliminating Excel and moving towards cloud based programs.
Bigger than Excel aye? Pretty impressive. Did PWC develop something internally?
@EY OP use uipath to automate. Plus you learn that and can automate almost anything
