I can navigate most software, even an entire virtual database using nothing but SQL but Excel will be the death of me. Fucking IF statements to combine shit is stupid but SQL join statements make sense to me LMAO.

Can you import the data as a csv using python, matlab, whatever and then just script up the analysis you're trying to do rather than rely on excel macros?

This.

Also librecalc does get the job done, and it's not quite as shitty and bloated as excel.

Free yourself, brother.

I want to say this is an Excel Saga reference, but I'm old enough to appreciate that a 25+ year old relatively niche show would still get referenced online.

Nice. I should go back and re-watch that if only to see if I get some of the references I missed back then. Also, I think my prior post should have said "wouldn't" - meant to imply I don't expect people to reference old stuff, although I do appreciate it when I see it.

Just make AI write your excel formulas

Quattro > Excel

Excel is great but its query language is one of the worst languages to ever not be a shell language.
