Symptoms that Excel is limiting your business

Here you will find various cases, with a varying degree of awareness, showing the symptoms of someone who needs to switch from Excel to a database, which could become the basis of a CRM, a particular database. Or they no longer need Excel’s programming language, VBA, to do routine operations. Or the extensions can no longer process the amount of data on Excel sheets.

 

We are seeking a capable, detail-oriented data classification expert to assist us in segmenting a large dataset consisting of approximately 15,000 company accounts. These accounts are currently collected in an Excel file, with each record containing information about the company, such as company description, website URL, and more. Some rows do not have descriptions; in this case, you need to do a quick Google search or visit the website to find out what the company is about.

I have an excel document on the sales process that I use to project my company’s future sales. One of the factors is the “probability of closing.” I often assign a percentage to this factor. This percentage, to be honest, is a gut impression. This impression is composed of a few components: intimacy with the customer, whether my customer has already won a contract for my subcontract, the urgency of the need, where we are in the sales process (negotiation stage), and other factors. The above components may not even all be weighted equally (intimacy with the customer should be weighted less than “where we are in the sales process,” for example). I am looking for a mathematician who can help me devise a system that more accurately accounts for these factors to generate a more accurate “probability of closing.”

 

I need a multifunctional excel sheet to be used for data coding with automatic production of summaries and reports, for monitoring with ease, with multiple users accessing at the same time, with security features to hide confidential information in specific tabs.

Migrate our data into the data lake 4. Help us design selected dashboards/modes of interaction with data for people who have basic/limited skills.

We currently analyze sales data using Excel. This is a useful, but cumbersome and time-consuming method (not to mention the possibility of errors). As a first step, we would like to replicate and perhaps slightly improve our processes by manipulating the data more “programmatically,” via Python. The input would be an Excel file, the output an Excel file. The “magic” would happen in the middle, when the notebook would perform all the steps that are now performed by hand.
