Quantum shifts with PowerPivot
Background
I’ve been pretty up front with the productivity gains that I saw when I embraced VBA years ago. In fact, my About Me page on my website spells it out pretty clearly:
In the fall of 2002, the resort’s management company decided to cut labour costs in the administration department. Overall, 2.5 full time equivalent positions were cut out of a 7.5 person office (yes 33% of the labour used) within one month, with the department expected to produce the same amount and quality of work. During a desperate shuffle of tasks to other departments, and dropping of tasks that were low priority, I realized that automation was going to be the only answer.
