Why Spreadsheets Aren't Good Enough

If you've been trying to track your energy spend using generic spreadsheets, you've likely discovered they can't account for variations in weather, billing cycles, evolving square footage, or changes in such custom metrics as transactions, covers, or production. Which means spreadsheets just don't work very well.
