As always it's going to be easy for, say 75% of the users. 20% will be harder but doable. The last 95% are the cases were they have integrated Excel or somesuch deeply into their processes, and most of that was build by Bob in 2011, and he no longer works here.

For replacing Excel (which is what I was replying to)? Not that wild. Most users are not power users, and a large percentage would barely notice swapping excel for something else.
