Every email reply becomes an independent fork of the data inside the spreadsheet. The issue is storing and sending the file locally, and the solution is storing it in a centralized location. Cloud storage is often used towards this end, but on-premises file shares work very well too.
This is one of those solved problems that companies inexplicably keep working to solve again.
- megaman22 9y agoIt's such a bizarrely difficult uphill battle. We have Office 365, with a damned good web editor, and the ability to save directly to OneDrive/Sharepoint from the desktop client, with the versioning that that supports, and we still end up with shit emailed all over and files with version-12.xlsx and -$DATE.xlsx saved here, there, and everywhere.
- brazzledazzle 9y agoThe web editor might be good enough today but it used to choke and wouldn’t open/render all kinds of stuff that’s normal in financial spreadsheets. Thats not even getting into what a shit show SharePoint has been over the years. Microsoft has slowly eroded trust in anything but email sharing and (if there haven’t been missteps within an org with them) file shares.
