Eh? That's not at all what I said..
right, I read it incorrect. still free solution in Excel from someone may turn more costly than paid one with a proper tool.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505675 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:32:31 +0200 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505674 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505674 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:22:57 +0200 Reply by Kengur https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505648 Quoted from Spike Himself
Fair enough. Although "using something else" does not necessarily imply added resources and costs.. Maybe if you would give out some more details though people can come up with other suggestions.
you think free software (eg linux) == no cost? you will have to support the damn thing on your own time.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505648 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 13:25:26 +0200 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505452 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505452 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 16:37:28 +0200 Reply by Hildreth https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505393 Quoted from Spike Himself
No idea what you're trying to do, but I think if you need something done in excel that takes more than 20 minutes to set up, maybe excel wasn't the best choice of software to be using..
Maybe, maybe not but when you don't have the funding or resources to reach out and get the appropriate skills and software, you're limited in choice. Best thing is to try something and if it fails, improve upon it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505393 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 04:05:31 +0200 Reply by EmilioEstevez https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505383 Quoted from ondkaja
[...] excel is fast and easy to use for most purposes, like aggregating stats or making calculations. dunno what other purposes you would use excel that is faster with other programs.
I've seen an Irish water company using excel instead of an actual database to store billing details, customer records, usage data, etc.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=29767&post=505383 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 02:16:05 +0200 Reply by kKaltUu https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-29767/page-1/?recent=505697#post=505337 Quoted from doks

[...] Because chances are you can probably do it in a lot less time using something that was made for it. Of course you can do many things in Excel. You can also push a car from Paris to Berlin. Doesn't mean it's the best way to go about it.
