I'm not defending AI, but I've seen Excel manage worse on its own. Granted, it's almost always my fault for not fully understanding the enigmatic systems that power its logic.
It's amazing what you can do with Excel if you know how. It makes it so easy to analyze complex data sets, accidentally summon the Dark Lord, create pivot tables and graphs, etc.
accidentally summon the Dark Lord
You've tried to use Excel as a database too, huh?
Lol no that just summons a few demons. When you write an entire "application" in VBA and use hidden worksheets as the "database", then try to share it with the entire organization via a shared drive, then and only then will the gates of hell open and Satan himself come forth.
Oh. That explains the earthquakes.
The last application I wrote in VBA/Excel is still running 24/7 on a big screen in the command center of a company that was purchased for several billion dollars.
And yes, there are multiple database sheets. Filled with data scraped from another database. Data that was being written down on paper before I arrived and decided to learn VBA instead of develop permanent hand cramps.
But have you tried using Excel as the back end database for a poorly designed Access front end?
So…much…Visual Basic….
Whoa whoa whoa! The world is already in rough enough shape without you creating pivot tables
That's some Stockholm Syndrome talk right there.
