In their words
The only thing I didn't take into consideration is how to handle the comments in the cells of their spreadsheet.
wenn die Excel Tabelle welche mal mit MS DOS erstellt wurde einen Fehler hat. Da wären brauchbare JSON Fehlermeldungen schon richtig was wert.
All I want is to conveniently and easily browse and edit the database in the two views as mentioned above.
How would you put "explainers" in a spreadsheet that management can follow if the file "breaks" while you're not around?
Anyone can accidentally wipe out validation rules or mess up formatting with a simple paste.

Where they talk
- r/excel
- r/googlesheets
- r/SaaS
- r/Accounting
- r/FPandA
- r/spreadsheets
- r/vba
- r/MicrosoftFabric
Tools they use today
- Excel
- Google Sheets
- SharePoint
- Power Query
- VBA
- Power Automate
- OneDrive
- XLOOKUP
Why those fall short
- no way to see the steps behind a number
- documentation does not cover how to fix breakages
- Power Query gets stuck and fails; compression and XLSB barely help
- bloated, error-prone, quirks with data formats, name manager is shit
- cross-file links can't be traced without opening many workbooks; IFERROR hides real errors
