Office 2007 (and excel)

Any banks using the new office 2007? And any banks planning on switching to it?
Also I've got a bunch of excel books, and I am proficient with the excel pre- 2002. Any major changes I should be aware of? Or is a pivot table still a pivot table?

 

I think you're pretty safe; I don't see why anyone would want to switch. Ever since just about 2000, they've all had about the same functionality. I hear with Vista (haven't used it) there's a difference in how shortcuts are handled, but I can't speak to that and overall it's a pointless discussion - the expense of buying new software licenses vastly outweighs the benefit of a few new features. These banks know their visual basic and have programmed in a lot of what they want regardless, so that would all need to be built again.

Plus people make too big a deal about being excel whizzes. Anything you need to know you'll pick up, and you won't use everything the program can do by a long shot. The fact is that the math is not complicated, you just need to know how to format cells and organize enormous workbooks and audit formulas.
