...but where Excel really shines and enhances productivity is in combination with that other tool we all love and will never give up, email. Someone emails you (and 10 other persons) some data in an Excel sheet, you (and unbeknownst to you, 2 other persons) update the sheet with some new data and reply to the email, and after a few iterations nobody knows anymore how many versions of the document are in circulation and which one is the most up-to-date. Oh, joy!


Sounds like a training issue - Excel has a much better tool available now. Click the “Share” button in upper-right corner and now you’re all working on same doc and have concurrent editing capability.
