Manual Excel Reporting
Users waste hours manually consolidating, cleaning, and formatting spreadsheet data for recurring reports.
In their words
trying to figure out how to get the sheet to sort responses into individual tabs based on the month of the violation has been a nightmare
It's a tedious, manual task to begin with that Notion hasn't addressed in years even when it works as intended
I must have exported 100 excel files today preparing financials statements for various subs, I’d love to not do that.
Calculations figure in a flash but all the stupid reference edits cost me hours.
combining multiple spreadsheets into one usable system (enrollment, course demand, program trends)
can you imagine 30 hours to update a file that would take 20 minutes to do manually
spent at least 3 days a month generating scheduled 'reports' for people which are just data pulls from the warehouse by copying and pasting SQL query results into excel
Manually. On a calculator. Then they typed the average back into the spreadsheet.
Today I spent 3h of my live to export Jira issues to csv, import them in Excel, fix some broken pivot tables
I had to send out 100 of these spreadsheets every month and if one was at 99% zoom or on cell A2, I would get a scalding email
took ~2 hours and I'd still get one wrong
I want to shorten this process but I don't know what the right solution is.
Excel and reporting staff
Where they talk
- r/excel
- r/Accounting
- r/googlesheets
- r/AiAutomations
- r/PowerBI
- r/MicrosoftFlow
- r/automation
- r/dataengineering
Tools they use today
- Excel
- Power Query
- VBA
- Power BI
- Power Automate
- Python
- Google Sheets
- SharePoint
Why those fall short
- Macros are iffy and very sensitive; setup time exceeds manual effort
- Python seen as glorified Excel formatter; boss distrusts it and blames it for errors
- never trained in Excel, unaware of average function
- Python not available in their Excel version; team refuses extra installs
- broken pivot tables, badly maintained backlog
