I use Excel at work for at least a few hours a day, and I would class myself as an advanced user. I moved to Excel 2007 about 3 working days ago.
I do not enjoy the new layout. The logical reasons for the restructure are certainly sound, however suddenly things are not where one expects them. If, like me, you make use of lots of keyboard shortcuts then you will no doubt suffer at first. However, this is analogous to `texting' using a new phone and finding that the full-stop and space have been swapped. You learn quickly, especially if you are using the application a lot. In addition, Excel 2007 will interpret legacy alphabetical short-cuts in most cases.
The short term pain is small when weighed against the increased features in the new version. For me this is most notable in the presentation of data. Formatting options, especially conditional formatting, are much improved.
There are some _great_ ways to automatically represent cell values visually (without producing graphs). For example automated cell shading based on value.
Pivot-tables have changed a bit, and will probably give transition users some frustration. But again I think this will be short lived for any advanced users, who will quickly familiarise themselves.
Filtering too is changed, allowing filtering by colour. However, I find that it is harder to shortcut through the expanded options.
There are also a few handy time savers (eg 'remove duplicates') which will be appreciated by many users who might not create macros for automate tasks.
Compatibility with non-2007 users is the only caveat I would add. File formats have fundamentally changed - for the improvement of security and size (and maybe to encourage upgrades). If sharing and collaborate are important, then you will need to get everyone onboard to benefit.
Overall I think for any proficient and regular user the upgrade is worthwhile (pain vs payoff). For those who are not advanced users, pain of change may not be worth it for the new features. For completely new users I would definitely go for 2007.

Why would anyone pay over £170 for a piece of software which does nothing more than Open Office.org does -- and OpenOffice.org is completely free of charge?

Dumbed down and harder to use
29 July 2007
The new ribbon design is supposed to make it easier to learn and use. It may be for some new users but for experienced users, it isn't. This version takes away some critical nuts & bolts customization features and many tasks now take longer to perform. This is not due to the learning curve, it is the inherent nature of the way the ribbon works. Once you are familiar with the program, nothing is faster than the old menu structure. If Microsoft added an option to allow users to choose between menus and ribbons, it would be the best of both worlds, satisfying the needs of both new and experienced users. The new version does not run macros as fast however. My recommedation for existing users: keep Office 2003 for as long as you can and consider going to Open Office when Microsoft no longer supports 2003 (unless they restore the functionality in a newer release of 2007).

Horrific new interface
27 Jan 2009
Did MS purposely move everything around to make Excel harder to use? The placements of functions/menu items simply does not make sense to me. I have spend countless hours looking for simple things that are now buried in this completely unintuitive interface. I keep thinking, maybe if I just get used to the new interface, it will start to make sense. Nope. It just is not intuitive at all.
If there's one thing Microsoft has perfected lately, it's how to deliver a terrible product. It really is astonishing. It's almost as if Microsoft has stopped reviewing their ideas with users and they're just flailing about releasing junk.

MS Office "Upgrade" Garbage
23 April 2009
Only a total beginner who has never used a spreadsheet product before, a person who uses a spreadsheet for nothing more than summing a grocery list, or an MS employee or paid shill, could possible find the 2007 version of Office an improvement. It is by far the WORST upgrade of any S/W I have seen in 25 years of using S/W of every kind, including developing many tools myself. Horrible, and another example of MS going for glitz in place of functionality. Remember Bill Gate's "Bob" concept, and how stupid and horrible that was,,,,, this is a modern version of those stupid ideas. Office 2007 is absolutely terrible. Just see what the vast user community has to say about it. I know no one who likes it. Anyone who gives it any kind of a positive review must have a questionable motive. Garbage. If you don't believe me buy this turkey and see for yourself.
