The real crime here is using Excel as a database.
That reminds me of my previous job at a factory where a business critical database was maintained as a single Excel file with 15000 rows and 200 columns, and now all of my bones are in attack position.
I'll jump through my window before I ever again spend hours doing dozens of VBA lookups to fix data that got fucked up.
Excel databases are totally fine if the only reader is human
Why do you have to use fancy stuff like Excel when notepad will do?
It's a power move. You let them see you've brought a licensed copy of office 2007 to the game, and the dm immediately knows you are not to be fucked with. Unless they've got a bigger and better spreadsheet of course.
