Manual Recurring Reports
Teams waste hours each week manually pulling, cleaning, and compiling recurring reports from scattered sources.
In their words
Before that they were paying someone to spend maybe 1-2 hours every week doing the same thing manually.
We’re currently spending a lot of time manually pulling data, checking numbers and creating reports
No need to manually work with data and all excel vlookups.
the reports they build for you are all half-baked and full of bugs... they expect us to check for bugs
Same hours in Excel per report, just billing for it now instead of eating it. Helps the P&L, does nothing for the Saturday.
I am having to manually pull the data together from several reports and I just discovered one of the reports we are using is broken
our weekly reporting was taking way too long... What used to take 15 hours of manual work suddenly took under a minute.
I was tasked with generating 180 reports and dropping those into specific folders at the first of every month.
At what point does a recurring failure to provide information become a process issue rather than an employee follow-up issue?
so much of what we do at this company could be full scale end to end automated
every month I hand-run BigQuery MCP to assemble the revenue report for finance
producing the status eats the time we'd have used to unblock the actual thing. At some point the updates kind of became the work.
I work with clients and public funding, and sometimes these projects run for more than a year and at some point I need to prepare reports of the process and all the work that was done
there's no refresh button, so I need to spend time rewriting the query and tokens to retrieve data every month?

Where they talk
- r/excel
- r/automation
- r/Accounting
- r/FPandA
- r/AI_Agents
- r/AiAutomations
- r/SaaS

Tools they use today
- Excel

- Power BI
- PowerPoint
- SharePoint
- Slack
- Power Query
Why those fall short
- tools don't talk to each other, requiring manual copy/paste and rework
- system is old and archaic
- manual process is annoying and repetitive; no automated check-in system
- AI used for trivial tasks, not automation; pipelines held together by macros
- Duplicate reporting and no confirmation the report was received
