- excalibur 5y agoDraconian bans probably aren't the best way to achieve it, but if it's productivity your org wants they should concentrate on migrating those workflows out of Excel ASAP.
- behringer 5y agoSo which accountant is going to be programming your node.js files? There's a reason companies use excel.
- slowmovintarget 5y agoThey'd just learn Python. They'd be fine.
- dartharva 5y agoI won't, even when I do know how to script in Python. We don't really like having our workflows disrupted for silly reasons

- ziml77 5y agoThe problem with macros is that people are running arbitrary code that's emailed to them. I don't see how Python solves that at all. If someone isn't checking the macros in the sheet they received before running it, they're also not going to check the code in the Python script.
