    Can’t use a db? But abuse excel and make it a db 🤔 am I missing something or what?

    @MrJimmy it's not difficult to write a script that creates those dependencies based on some kind of internal db.

    I'd write my own DB if I ever had to use Excel again. I'd call it "Not Excel".

    I would of gone for access or is that classed as a DB I guess. Tables with links do make a DB. I would look else ware for a job that company will limits growth with that kind of solutioning

    @1init Everything that holds data is a db. Even excel on it's own. Not a relationship one (if you just dump data in and not categorise it somehow) not sql one & certainly not the best one, but db nontheless..
