I really hope Randall shares this formula he made. It sounds incredible. 162.158.126.34 21:15, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Seems to me to perhaps be a bit of nerdsniping (a la XKCD 356) bait...

My unofficial job title is the Head of the Department for Extreme Spreadsheeting. There are multiple reasons for this, including that we need to share info easily across different offices, I'm very familiar with spreadsheet formulas, and I have no f***ing clue how to get a SQL database functioning properly.

Anybody remember Oracle’s SQL*Calc spreadsheet application? Individual cells could not only contain select queries but also insert, update, and delete, all using variable data from the spreadsheet. So you could select data from tables into a multidimensional array of cells in s spreadsheet, manipulate the data in the cells, then insert in back into the same (or different!) tables.

Remember all the TV Tropes links? We could totally put “Good Angel, Bad Angel” here. 172.68.141.148 10:41, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
