The customer wants the brand new website we are building them to be able to load data from several types of excel files and then email them an excel file with results. Please shoot me...

Sometimes it's okay to fire a client.

Like... into the sun with an oversized circus cannon?

Some of my clients I'd like to actually set on fire

What's the use case?

Like for anything financial, Excel files are preferable.

Although I will say this. Companies are lying when they say they want Excel exports. They don't. They want CSV but they don't know the difference.

That's... a normal usecase? Importing exporting excel files?

Customer wants a database, but has the MBA learning disability? Yes, literally the primary use of excel. Microsoft would go bankrupt without MBA brain rot.

My client has an MBA. Please be gentle with him

My sides. 😂

It can be sometimes. I do a simple import in one of my personal projects. In case for the client, for over 20 years they have used excel to make all CRUD changes and now they get to build a brand spanking new website to do all of those CRUD changes and they still want to do it in excel.

That makes sense if they're transitioning people who have been doing it the old way for 20 years.
