“The project deadline is on 10th of February 12:00 PM!”, screams row 1 of your open spreadsheet. Like you needed to be reminded, again. Several rows down, in $G$28, the expense for Dec 2014 is blank.

Spreadsheets present sleepless nights to millions of managers, accountants, consultants, analysts, and entrepreneurs. They demand your meticulous and scrupulous attention to detail. Satisfying when right, unforgiving when wrong. No other document is frowned upon or mocked more by professionals.
