Before Excel turns into a real process risk, it is worth making a clean assessment
Many companies keep using Excel productively far longer than it was originally intended for. That is not automatically a problem. It becomes critical when several people work in parallel, approvals are unclear, input errors become more frequent, or important workflows depend too heavily on individual files and manual steps.
That is exactly what this Excel Quick Check is for: not as a theoretical questionnaire, but as a structured initial assessment for real business processes. You briefly describe your use case, typical issues, and your desired target setup. Based on that, it becomes clear early on whether Excel automation, a web app, or another modernization step is the more sensible option.
If you already know that you want to replace your spreadsheets in the long run, Excel to Web App and Excel Automation are also relevant next pages.
Focus on Real Problems
Versions, manual input, missing permissions, history, or interfaces are assessed directly in their business context.
Better Basis for Decisions
Instead of vague assumptions, you get a more solid basis for deciding whether automation or an individual software solution is worth it.

Typical situations where an initial assessment creates clarity quickly
Several people work on the same file
As soon as Excel is used collaboratively, file conflicts, duplicates, and uncertainty about the current state usually increase significantly.
Errors have operational impact
If incorrect inputs or missing validations cause real costs, delays, or extra effort, structured validation is often more important than additional workarounds.
Manual steps consume too much time
Copy-paste, rework, reformatting, and manual reporting are typical signals that Excel is no longer a good fit for the process.
