Shudder This reminds me of my 2 months working for a Big 4 accounting firm in, basically, SOX auditing. We mapped out controls on our little 14" laptop screens using excel spreadsheets with tens of thousands of rows and hundreds if not thousands of columns. I'd say we were writing novels in Excel but, to be honest, there were probably far more words than the average novel contained. Talk about using the wrong tool for the job -- and using low-paid monkeys on inadequate equipment rather than developing a proper application for the task (or paying someone else to do the same). I'll never look at excel the same way again.
