Hello everybody,

What is the company and corporation that is the object of your hate? What did/do they do to get that spot for you?

Mine is Facebook/Meta for their egregious data collection policies, psychological manipulation of its users, and more recently, them not seeding content.

Thanks in advance for your time! Have a good one!

I suggest making a script to fix it, rather than fix it manually. It is very easy to use, so basically program then export to excel then run officescript. Also don't tell anyone you made a script, tell them you are doing it manually.

The data is different every month. It's not consistent month to month so it can't be automated in any way.

But you use the same column correct? and the data that is messed up is the same type? Unless the data that is messed up is very hard to detect using a script, it should be possible.
