Having worked for a state government which maintained data for federal submissions in 15 different versions of the same giant excel file on 15 different computers, it's scary how accurate this is.

I've worked at private companies where this is the case too lol.

This is true even when better software would work instead of the one-size-fits-all-but-isn't-suitable Excel.

Often to get it to work the way I want is through VBA scripting. And at that point I should be using other software but companies are cheap and don't want to invest in better tech.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
