Your story is pretty typical in my experience. No one hires a dev team to build a VBA tool (except the occasional MS Access tool). It's normally someone doing the work who works out how to do a basic macro to make it quicker, and it grows from there.

Indeed. In my case, I fought through managerial malaise and turned the entire process on its ear. But even after the approach proved its worth, they refused to put a dev resource on it. It became my problem 24/7.

Remember kids, being good at something outside of your job description means it's now your job. If the boss refuses to compensate you for it, slap it on your resume and find someone who will.
