From: Cerealkiller via OfficeKB.com on 12 May 2010 15:31 I been using excel 2000 for many years now. I have searched the forums and the internet about the other versions I know I do not want to upgrade to 2007. I have not found too much info on 2003 would anyone have a complete listing or know if it would be better to upgrade to 2003 from 2000. I only use the basic functions like vlookup, If, find, password, auto sort, and split and freeze frames. So I only use it for the general basic functions not too much VBA. So if anyone has any suggestion please let me know. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com
From: JLatham on 12 May 2010 17:18 Unless 2003 (or 2007 or 2010) has something you specifically need and 2000 is still doing the work you need it to do, stick with 2000. You'll probably have a difficult time finding a copy of 2003 anyhow, and I'd skip over 2007 completely since they're already taking pre-orders for 2010 for a June delivery if you need something in 2010. Some niceties in 2010 over 2000: nested functions can now go to 64 instead of 7 [this was usually a limitation for nested IF() statements] although I'm not sure you could ever make sense with 30 or 40 levels of nested anything!. Obviously there is room for more data with the extension to over 1M rows and 64K columns. There are a couple of added functions such as SUMIFS() that make life a little easier at specific times. But VLOOKUP, IF, sorting, Find, splitting and freezing panes pretty much still work the same way. "Cerealkiller via OfficeKB.com" wrote: > I been using excel 2000 for many years now.

I do have a copy of 2003 but if you suggest that 2000 is just fine I would not mind staying with it. Thnak you for your response and giving me the lowdown on 2010.
