    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.

          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.
