The podcast discusses whether Power Platform means Excel is obsolete. The conversation highlights that while Excel is frequently used for data storage, quick calculations, project plans, and Gantt charts, it often creates issues due to its lack of control over input, permissions, and versions. Building proper applications requires skilled coding, but Power Platform, especially Power Apps, allows for easy application development with better data management and integration with Power BI and Power Automate.
The argument for Excel emphasizes its versatility and familiarity, making it hard to replace for quick tasks and simple project management. However, Power Platform offers structured data management, user interaction, and enhanced security, making it a better solution for long-term and shared applications. The misuse of Excel as a database or business application is a key issue, and organizations need to educate themselves on the benefits of Power Platform. The discussion concludes that Excel should be used as a spreadsheet, while Power Platform should be adopted for more complex data management and application development. Future discussions will explore the implications of Power Platform on tools like SharePoint.
