was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. Fifteen years ago, “I’ll stick to Excel” was a (bad, but) defensible position in data automation. Today that’s just insanity.

I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Yeah. I get that. Gotta do what you gotta do!

I’ve made some progress at organizations like that by setting up a private workflow in Python “just to check my work”.
