"Not impressed......"
I am an Excel programmer for my work, developing business solutions in VBA. After fooling around in 2007 for a bit, I went back to 2003 and stayed there. The only things I like in 2007 are the million + rows and 16000+ rows. I work with large data
PROS: Million rows, 16K+ columns
CONS: Everything else; RIBBON :(

"Who thought this mess up!"
I'd like to know what "NON-User" thought this mess up! I won't bore you with the bad details since if you are an Excel user you will know my pain. As a serious user of Excel for many years I couldn't say enough good things about it. However now I
PROS: None in my opinion
CONS: Learning Curve

"This new version is just about worthless"
Nothing is the same MS used up too much realistate in making little buttons and different areas that are pointless to an experienced user of Excel. This might be good if you have never used the product. You can't make chart nearly as efficently as I
PROS: Looks pretty in the box
CONS: For Engineering work this is a horrible product

"Good for 1st graders"
If you are new to Office and never need to blow through spreadsheets and/or models, then this might be okay for you. If you have learned the old menus, keystrokes, or have gained any proficiency at Excel then AVOID this version. It is a severe down
PROS: Easy for first time users of computers
CONS: Much slower and switching the menus was pointless

"If you have ever used Excel in the past, don't buy this version"
The ribbon interface changes EVERYTHING. If you were used to Excel before, this is like buying a completely different program. Don't buy it if you don't have to.
PROS: Can do the same things Excell 2003 did
CONS: You will never be able to figure out how to make it do those things

"As far as upgrades go, it doesn't get much worse than this"
MS Excel used to be a great product and we would use it for everything. Since we bought a new computer, we are now using MS Excel 2007. We have found the transition from Excel 2003 to 2007 nearly impossible. I think most people are looking for a
PROS: We're still working on coming up with one

"Never should have happened"
What happened, Microsoft?? The user interface is terrible. Keyboard shortcuts are no longer easy, and you're often forced to use the mouse to choose commands, a very unwelcome change for Excel power users like me. So, ok, I'm a seasoned veteran. What
PROS: Sleeker graphs
CONS: Messed up interface; crashes.

"Its Broken....."
I was very happy with 2003 but needed a copy for a new machine. All I could find at the local store was 2007 so I thought I might as well upgrade. Huge mistake... everything I do is a 10 minute hunt through really COOL icons. Hours and hours of p

"Don't Upgrade!"
I am so disappointed in what MS has done to Excel in 2007, that I'm on the verge of going back to the 2003 version. There are a few nice upgrades that include something like 32 levels of sorting that most people will never use, and a neat feature of
PROS: additional levels of sorts allowed, can also filter by color
CONS: Very poor layout, compatibility issues, problems with subtotals and refresh

Just as with the majority of components within Office 2007, Excel uses the new ribbon interface. The Home ribbon includes sections for font formatting, alignment, number and cell formatting, clipboard, search and filtering, and styles. The last sec
