Spreadsheets seem much more accurate than humans. When you think about how long it would take to add up columns of numbers, calculate ratios… humans would take much longer and make many more mistakes.
This lures us into a sense of false security. When we make small mistakes in a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet will faithfully keep calculating results – when a human might spot the error.
Academic studies repeatedly find we are too confident in the accuracy of our spreadsheets. Audits find most spreadsheets have large numbers of serious spreadsheet errors.

New features in the latest release of LiveDataset combine to provide flexible and powerful ways to define granular data access for users.
When adding features, especially powerful features, there is a risk that complexity is being introduced.
See how it is actually easier now to for an administrator to specify different types of access.
The LiveDataset journey is reaching a key milestone today as early adopters will gain access.
Krescendo’s experience delivering custom development projects gives us a different perspective and certain advantages when how we develop software.
Krescendo CEO, Gabriele Albarosa explains the three key principles that have ensured the successful development of LiveDataset in just six months.

The latest updates to LiveDataset introduce powerful new features to support shared access to a dataset.
With spreadsheets, sharing is problematic. It is difficult to know what changes were by made and who made them. And if you want to give people part of a spreadsheet, you have to divide each spreadsheet up into multiple ‘slices’.
See how LiveDataset makes it easy for many people to work with shared data.

“Errors in spreadsheets are common, and may remain even when they are checked and, indeed, audited. The consequences of these errors can be catastrophic.”
Here are four examples where simple data errors caused spreadsheet nightmares.
