I’ve heard it said that Excel is the second best program for everything. DB? Excel. CRM? Excel. Word editor? Browser? Calendar? Doom? Yup, you guessed it.
Just like Outlook, which my users essentialy used as a file storage… Sadly I’m not joking that when the first SSDs came out I had a user who I installed an SSD in his PC just to put his stupid PST files on, because having them on a HDD would cause his Outlook to have a meltdown.
And don’t get me started with special macros and basic code that only works in ms office.
Databases basically built inside excel 😐

yea who ever things that is a good idea, while we have MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Valkey should be fired.
