More Expressiveness

Spreadsheet Pain

Limited expressiveness of models

  • Editing model logic often entails major efforts to modify sheet layout
    • Conventional spreadsheets inextricably intertwine model logic and sheet layout

  • Sometimes it is hard to make ‘simple’ changes in spreadsheets
    • Example: Add a new product to a product line throughout a report
    • Example: Change time grain from months to quarters
    • Example: Add quarterly sums to a monthly report
    • Example: Re-layout tables to slice the data differently

ModelSheet Gain

Increased expressive power

  • Readable symbolic variables and formulas help you to author, track and enhance complex models
  • Cut numbers of formulas and manual operations by a factor of 10 to 100
  • Dimensions and time series capture model logic
  • ModelSheet automates details of worksheet layout, after you specify broad sheet design
