I was going to post much the same regarding SQL <> Excel. Once underlying data sources are cleaned, wrangled, and access-controlled, it's amazing how far VLOOKUP and Pivots will get you. I've also found that giving non-techn

I discovered this a couple years back, truly the worst. I don't know what kind of cynical cargo-culting fools are wasting resources, designing this junk and selling it to unsuspecting people who don't read the fine print. I'v

In the '90s/'00s I worked at the Davis Food Co-Op in Davis, CA which was one of the largest full-service (meaning not just hippie health food) consumer-owned grocery co-ops at the time. After working in the bakery I was on th

We get resold Sisense for healthcare data analytics from our Electronic Health Record vendor. So this could be a massive HIPAA breach, if so I hope Sisense get driven out of business ASAP. A year of free credit monitoring will not make this
