Technology Tip of

Provided by the MSCPA Information Technology Committee
In Excel, Finding Spreadsheet
Errors
What happens when there's an error in a worksheet? The answer
is that it depends on what the worksheet is calculating and how bad the error
is. Theoretically if an error were to over calculate doses of a highly potent
drug then an error could kill, if it were to under calculate a company's cash
flow situation, it could harm the financial stability of the company.
