PDF, Word or Excel: which report format should I use?

Short answer: PDF is a fixed layout for distribution (choose Save as PDF in the print dialog). Word is an editable report with headings and tables. Excel is for analysis: a Data sheet with real dates and numbers, a filter and a frozen header, plus Report and Definitions sheets.
