The Hidden Cost of Staying on Spreadsheets Presented by Excel in BI NZ

A free lunchtime webinar from Excel in BI on the real cost of telling yourself you will just use spreadsheets a bit longer: the hours spent reconciling numbers, decisions made on stale data, and errors that only surface once they are too late to fix cheaply. The session walks through real before-and-after examples from New Zealand and Australian businesses that moved from spreadsheets to a proper Power BI reporting layer, and what changed for them operationally.

The webinar runs online via Microsoft Teams on Friday 15 January 2027 from 12:00pm to 12:45pm NZDT, and registration is free. It is for business owners who know their spreadsheet process is fragile but have not yet worked out what replacing it involves or costs, and attendees are invited to bring their current spreadsheet process to see where the real cost is hiding.
