Excel 2007 vs. Excel 2003
No VBA changes other than additions to the object model to support the new
functionality, but more colours, improved conditional formatting, improved tables, as well as the extra rows and columns. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "syswizard" wrote in message ups.com...

Excel 2007 vs. Excel 2003
A "must have", eh? For me there is no killer feature that I must have. Sure,
there are improvements in conditional formatting, pivot tables and charts, more rows and columns, etc. Some of the charting functionality of Excel 2003 is defective in 2007, and the interface is designed for beginners, not for helping competent users become increasingly productive. The documents sure look nice, though. Before upgrading, carry out your due diligence by scanning these groups, and read about the problems that many of the early adopters are having. Decide if these issues matter to you, and whether the extra rows and columns and bells and whistles are worth upgrading for. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Spreadsheet Solutions" wrote in message . ..

Has Microsoft been informed of the charting "glitches" or behavior differences ? Also, has anyone benchmarked Excel 2007 vs. 2003 as far as calculation performance ? I am worried that the additional columns/rows may have had an adverse impact. For some of us, the unbreakable "Vista-like" security is a huge one....I keep checking with the Russian hackers and nope, they've not be able to break it....to date. |

Has Microsoft been informed of the charting "glitches" or behavior differences ? They have been apprised of these during all stages of beta testing and now after commercial release. I suspect it's a problem of allocating finite resources among issues of different severity. I'm hoping they'll fix all of my issues, but I know they won't be able to. Maybe that's good if it means continued work to fix things when my clients upgrade <g. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ |

Excel 2007 vs. Excel 2003
Excel 2007 looks much fancy, but not a "must have". i have gotten at least
one problem. I tried to run one macro developed under Excel 2003 that create a worksheets with many charts by using the data in other sheet, under Excel 2007 is much much slower than under Excel 2003. The benifit is more rows and columns for some case you have hit ristriction of 256 columns and 65536rows of Excel 2003. Offset is speed. You have to be careful when time is critical.
