Real life doesn't always provide ideal solutions. In your case, using Excel is probably the easiest or even only way to do what's needed. That doesn't mean it's the best, or even a good solution. If it causes organization-wide problems, whoever runs your organization should make sure better processes are instilled. The only thing you can do is make it clear to the person above you and hope things improve.
- OzCrimson 6y agoWe're closer in agreement. And I'd never suggest that Excel was the best solution or even a good solution at times. (I hated the tedious error-prone things that I used to do in Excel.) I'm just offering the context from which weird stuff happens. And the answer isn't always as easy as: put it in a database. The context, the processes (or lack of processes), the decision-makers, budgets, timelines, they all play a part in the outcomes.
