Whether your choice was the HP 12C, Sharp EL 733A or a running favorite the TI BA II Plus , chances are that you probably did not make it past the first chapter in the user manual. Static homework problems are solved with ease, balancing checkbooks after purchasing books (though depressing) are accomplished with a modicum of effort. It is generally not until that first HBS case, where you are forced to consider dynamic variables and perform sensitivity analysis , that you realize there is a time and place for the financial calculator. With the clock approaching 1 1pm and two additional cases due in 8 hours, it becomes apparent that a comprehensive set of tools are needed to analyze the case data. As fatigue and panic begin to set in, a confident teammate whom was in the two year analyst program at Morgan Stanley prior to grad school, steps to the “plate” and deftly places the mouse aside. After 10 minutes of steady chatter from the keyboard, a robust and neatly formatted spreadsheet provides the first tool necessary to model various inputs that were swiftly downloaded from a nearby Bloomberg terminal representing a second tool. Finally, a third tool, Crystal Ball by Oracle is used in the forecasting and simulation of the data at hand to augment team discussion and provide sensitivity analysis of the case at hand. A well thought out decision soon follows and it is only 12am! A typical team will stand there mystified, with a silent and unspoken agreement that they just found their finance , data and excel guru for the rest of their graduate studies!  \nFast forward a year or two. Graduation has come and gone. The debt is there, but at least you are driving a new car and going to the gym to work off the “Grad School 20.” You are a financial analyst at a fortune 500 company. The two week training class offered by the firm was insightful and now you are on your own. Your boss comes in and asks you to put together an analysis surrounding an NPV project. Key requirements include a financial model detailing five year proformas , working capital requirements and the ability to perform sensitivity analysis given a set of dynamic variables that will have to be skillfully adjusted to meet the appropriate cost of capital that needs to be compared to industry peers. As you begin to break out in a sweat, the last words you vaguely recall hearing are something about a two day deadline…  \nFor nearly 40 years with the advent of the PC, spreadsheet models have been the dominant tool for finance professionals to practice their trade. Bloomberg has become the preeminent tool for market news, data, analysis, and video to the business world. Oracle’s Crystal Ball is often touted as the leading spreadsheet-based application for predictive modeling, forecasting, simulation, and optimization.
