It's confusing that Excel supports relational database operations at all. If you want to query the data in Excel it should seamlessly push you into Access rather than partially recreating the same functions.
- csdvrx 4y ago> It's confusing that Excel supports relational database operations at all I'd say it's for the better: sometimes you want to stay in the same tool, and it's the tool's job to interpret your intent. Imagine you are editing a markdown file and have a picture in your Windows clipboard. IMHO, the proper action would be to output base64 encoded jpeg data, even if it's "partially recreating the same functions", as it makes a copy-paste of screenshots from say the snipping tool (Win Shift S) seamless. BTW, github doesn't support base64 encoded jpeg or png data, under the excuse that SVG could have security implications (which is true but not applicable for png/jpg) so don't bother trying it over there...
