There are SAAS solutions like airtable. https://www.airtable.com/ https://www.airtable.com/
Hosted and managed databases in AWS, Oracle, and Azure.
As I mentioned it's best to get a good idea on what you're trying to do with excel, there may be a purpose driven web app designed to do exactly what you're looking to accomplish.
- parentheses 4y ago+1 on both tools. you can go from 0 to well oiled very easily. pick a process and transform it. knowing both very well, i’ll try to help you choose: retool is great when your logic and api calls are much more sophisticated. it is more powerful but also less turnkey. i’ve built apps that would have taken me several days in less than an hour and had the degree of control to make the workflow as i wanted it. the widgets are powerful and super configurable. the editing experience is meant for engineers or very savvy technical people with limited engineering experience. airtable is more turnkey. you can more quickly build basic things. it’s used by a LOT of companies. the widgets and capabilities all work out of the box and are very simple and transparent. if something doesn’t work, it’s not hard to figure out why. the capabilities and how they’re implemented make it easy for non engineers to build a full blown workflow. both are great so you should pick something medium complexity and try retool and something low complexity and try airtable. this will help you understand what’s going to be best for your company and use cases.
