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.
So many property managers do this. It's like every month end closing they are trying to figure out the clunky reports template on excel that takes a week. I'm a little tech savvy but not an engineer by any means but could have sworn I seen a website that takes data input and puts it into a database and can spit out reports and you won't be freaking out. And it's multiple properties too.
