Just put together a completely oversized excel file, spread across 40 tabs, in all sorts of arbitrary colours that bear no relationship to each to the actual cell contents, ensure half of your links don't work, put in a bunch of broken graphs, mistype some historical numbers, pick a discount rate out of mid-air, have references to external files that don't exist, ensure your formatting is as painful and messy as possible, and you should have a pretty close approximation

Silver banana for you. To OP's question though, some research services have a handful of Excel models to download, or you can ask a friend at a bank if their research portal has any.

I can email you a model. Shoot me a PM with your email address.

Hi Kevin, do you have any models you can shoot my way? I'm specifically interested in the retail sector. Thanks.
 

hi kevin, will be great if you can share it with me as well. Can't shoot you a PM yet because I lack banana points..
