- ccozan 8y agoI don't know if there is a name for this law, but is true: every business app will get an 'export to excel' functionality. No matter how well is modeled or close to the user flow, the users will want to export the data in an excel - where they can be creative!
- xupybd 8y agoI've seen this before. The customer wanted a huge spread sheet converted into an application. Turns out the spreadsheet changed it's function from week to week. The user was using the spreadsheet to play with numbers and didn't need the application they asked for, they just needed an easy way to get data out of the database so they could play with the numbers and a way to get some data back into the db.
