Is SAP supposed to be an upgrade?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

SAP is super strict at least, it will just ignore you. Excel will let you fuck everything or help you in doing so.

Lol my company has a "no sort" policy. Many key docs just self destruct if you sort.

Can you not export to excel? Tbh Im new to it and it is so all encompassing I am basically lurking around outside

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

You can copy and paste values to another workbook and sort but it'll kill almost all the useful information. We've got these massive docs that reference numerous tabs and populate parent+children lines. It's an absolute mess and takes 6 months of training, I look at it as job security lol

Oh god, my training has been trial and error

Surely it would be cheaper to hire a dev for 6 months to put it into a proper database.
