> they could have put together a type-safe back end on sqllite with multiple available frontend APIs to gradually transfer users to Excel But Not Shitty They have already done this (although not with SQLite), see “PowerQuery / Get and Transform” which is a full type safe data cleaning/transformation interface, MCode language, and then you can link this typesafe data into excel and then into PowerPivot + DAX / Measures. All of the above is already built into excel as standard, just nobody seems to know about it. Open excel and click data, get and transform, open PowerQuery editor.
