Why spreadsheets cost more than the licence fee

The spreadsheet itself is nearly free, which is exactly why the real cost stays hidden. It shows up instead as time: the hours spent updating, reconciling versions, hunting for a customer's history, and fixing the formula someone broke. It also shows up as lost work, the quote never followed up and the customer who went cold, because a spreadsheet reminds you of nothing. Put a value on those and the number is usually far bigger than any software you would replace it with.

This is an estimate based on the figures you enter, not a precise measurement. It is meant to give you a sense of scale, not an exact bill.
