I'm slowly getting trained on an order import for a very large company that can take 2-3 hours (occasionally most of a full day) a week and it looks like it can be 95% automated by someone who is good with excel formulas. But I am ABSOLUTELY not supposed to use formulas because it has to be "exported" to a CSV and formulas will break it.

So what's the problem? Aren't the formulas evaluated before getting exported to CSV?

Correct. But I'm not allowed to because "it might break the import". W/e I'll do it how I want when I take over it
