Usage of Power Pivot/Query/...

Hi everyone,

given all the current hype about data analytics, I was wondering to which extent you guys might be using "power tools" such as Excel Power Pivot/Query/BI or others like Alteryx?

I work at one of the big4 and we only rarely use them for our sell-side M&A deals but a lot of the FDD guys here do so more frequently. It would be great to hear a take on them from the IB perspective and your experiences.
