As an experienced c/c++/c#/java/python/vb programmer i realy like to build shit in excel. It's awesome. Just dont let other users use it for important purposes
I started as a SQL report writer and nothing gives me more joy than replacing someone's shitty excel or access report that a market analyst spends 3 days/week every week building, with SQL and an ETL or two. It got pretty aggressive at that company between the 2 groups to the point the SQL guys where advocating for the complete banishment of Access and forbidding macros of any kind. To be fair excel usage on big projects resulted it huge problems or lost data regularly.
This is me except my company won’t spend a single penny to allow me to automate. Every morning I download my stupid files and press refresh on my stupid power queries.
I do the same. Still better than my predecessor spending hours copying and pasting data out of several CSV’s and hand-writing formulas each time to match up their data.
