OK, genius, answer the question posed in

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel/msg/ac06db4892597489?dmode=source&hl=en

(or http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2E21234B ).

If MDX has taken over the world, how could there still be so many Excel
users?! Or, for that matter, why would you be ranting on & on & on?

As pointed out months ago, if data is already in nice neat tables,
maybe databases make more sense. Otherwise, the flexibility of
spreadsheets often (usually) beats the rigidity of databases.
