Is Excel still a Force in Merchandise Planning (SMART IN PLANNING)

Is Excel still a "force" in Merchandise Planning? 🎥 🎥 🎥 Video below (runtime 2:23 mins)
❤️ I have yet to meet a Merchandise Planner who can live without Excel, but it's still worth noting a few things -
🛠 Is Excel a tool
🖥 Data still needs to come from a system
💾 It needs to be complete and accessible
📊 It needs to be the right type data for Planning purposes

I like the points you make especially with regard to Markdowns.

Thank you Phil!

I think excel is very handy for the actual controller/ allocator at ground level.
While BI tools are more suitable for upper management
