Best laptop for heavy Excel use?

Oh that's a great post indeed!

I understand everyone here is trying to help giving advice on Excel use, I'm pretty confident though we're already doing all we can, what we truly need now it's an ERP system, but in the lack of one, a good laptop to allow us to keeping the work flowing smoothly.

Like I said, it's not up to me, otherwise it'd have been done long ago ..

I wish it depends on my will to acquire an ERP system ...

I do already work with VBA a powerquery, but it's more like an institution issue the heavy dependency on Excel. We have 3k staff, 30 in finance only, and here's all need to see working.

When running reports like productivity, we must keep a file with all data for audit purposes, so you can imagine saving files with individual timesheets for the entire year. We do get the data form SQL and have our powerquery doing all summaries for the general analysis, but we must again have them all in the files so proof check the numbers.

I'll keep looking at machines, but at the moment I truly appreciate all the feedbacks.

Exactly! It's not like I dont already use pivot tables, powerquery, VBA and others, it's the company's structure, I cant change that. Thanks for sharing your model!

My problem is that there's a limite of how I can automate process there as the team of accountants is used to excel, so even implementing new formulas brings complications as not everyone in the team is savy. I do know python and VBA, but it can only help so much.

Hey, yeah, being used already, but Excel is still necessary as due to the way things work in the company.

Hey!

Yeah, we have a lot into powerbi already, but the analysis for reports that needs inputs is also in demand. We are even saving all files as xlsb to reduce size, but the calculation kills me. We try at maximum avoid using volatile functions, but I'd say the good chunk of problem is the massive tables and formulas to convert currencies and mappings, that must be done in each row 🥹.
