    Quite interesting.  I doubt that those of us spoiled with Microsoft Money will downgrade to Money in Excel though, unless Money no longer functions at some point.

    Money in Excel will be of limited use unless it works in the standard version of Excel and can import Money files. I wish Microsoft would continue developing Microsoft Money.

    I agree. I think it would be very hard, if not impossible, to achieve in Excel a functionality that is equivalent to what we already have available in Money Sunset.

    MS Money, at least from 2000, is built on the Jet database engine.  Databases allow information to be queried relatively easily and the result is a 'Report'. It would be much more difficult to query and report if the information is held in a spreadsheet. In my opinion it is 'Reports' which make Money so valuable.
