I don't know... when I worked for a bank, we found so many math bugs in
Excell that it was very difficult to trust it.

Much of it was improper assumptions it made about data, and the 65K row
limitation.

I'd have a very hard time trusting it.

I like the program in terms of how it works, I just worry about the
guts.

I also thought the older versions were a better from the UI standpoint.
It's now gross and bloated, like most of the other software.
