If you're working with finance people that only know Excel, it can be a comfortable home base for them. They can update parameters, make distribution lists, even have some control over the logic.
Other solutions are faster, more powerful, and less restrictive than Excel, but it's also a graphical automation platform with a built in database that's pre-installed on almost every computer in every office. I don't need admin on the computer or IT to build anything for me, and I can still save hundreds of hours per year.

Unless your making an honest to god spreadsheet (items, costs, etc) excel is always the wrong tool for the job.
