Our Future of Excel series
Don't worry this isn't another "is Excel dead?" article. At Full Stack, we know the answer to that question: A resounding "no".
And that's not to say that we think Excel is always the right answer. On the contrary, I am constantly on the hunt for great tech to show to our members and looking for ways to lessen the inertia of moving from Excel to these solutions.
There is a good reason that Excel is the cornerstone of almost every finance team worldwide, and recent functionality releases have only cemented that position. Consider what has been added to Excel in the last ten years or so: PowerPivot, the Data Model, Excel Tables, Structured Referencing, PowerQuery, Dynamic arrays, XLOOKUP and most recently LAMBDA.
As part of Full Stack Modeller's mission to keep you up to date with trends in financial modelling and analytics our Future of Excel series will give you an overview of the new features soon to be released by Microsoft Excel.
So let's take a look at what is coming soon to Excel 365.
