if you're thinking of using excel, please consider openoffice/gnumeric
instead; for a number of situations, they are at least as good as
excel, and have the benefit of being open.

assuming you share the resulting tool, there are also those of us who
don't want to pay the hefty fee for a spreadsheet application, and
excel files are not yet fully usable in openoffice/gnumeric

thanks
