In this article we describe how spreadsheets are riddled with errors, drawing on our own experience and on the research presented in the academic literature on spreadsheet errors and testing.
Around 95% of all spreadsheets contain errors. So, unless you've been extremely diligent, or perhaps just very lucky, then it is almost certain that your spreadsheets are wrong.
The spreadsheets that you rely on – to inform decision making, do reporting, and generally conduct analysis of just about everything – are probably giving you incorrect results.
