I find it interesting that while so many enterprises are trying to reduce the number of Excel spreadsheets that contain different versions of the truth, Microsoft continues to enhance Excel with an emphasis on being the BI front end. From the Microsoft Excel Team Blog:
Business Intelligence continues to be a strong focus area for us, and you will see a number of innovations in this space, perhaps most notably the “slicers” feature visible in all the Excel 2010 demo videos released over the last few days. Excel expands its role as the best BI client by introducing such features as OLAP write-back, support for dynamic sets, fast search in filter dialogs, and more. We also worked with the SQL team in developing project Gemini.
