Spreadsheets are universally available and understandable; however, the spreadsheet also has a remarkably high error rate. Studies show that human reviews of a spreadsheet catch barely 50% of the errors present on each pass, meaning that spreadsheets must be reviewed several times to potentially achieve full validation. Spreadsheet review and validation processes are often slow to adopt and time-consuming to complete. Not all companies invest in Excel training to prevent some errors from the onset, either. But what if any spreadsheet user could have the power to run an automatic workbook audit to quickly verify data, detect errors, and provide confidence in even the most complex workbook’s credibility? Is there a chance that we could achieve error-free spreadsheets? Join as insightsoftware shares several case studies detailing how automated spreadsheet auditing has saved error-prone spreadsheets, providing users with total confidence in their data and achieving error-free spreadsheets!
