Is there any way to find out approximately what proportion of all
Excel users worldwide are using each version of Excel?

For example, x% are using Excel 2007, y% are using Excel 2003, etc.


Thanks,

Greg

Write to MS and ask them? Seriously, that is a topic of great debate. Many
users will have it installed but not use it, many will have multiple
versions installed, which is the one that they 'use'?

I don't know any numbers for the population at large, but as far as my
commercial clients go, it is about 75% XL2003, 15% XL2007, and the
rest on XL2000 or XL2002.

Just in case Chip doesn't see the follow-up...

IIRC, Chip once wrote that he's stopped accepting work for xl97. So his stats
will be skewed because of that professional decision. (I think he likes those
COM modules too much <vbg.)
